Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2009 15:10:45 -0000 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: xen-devel-bounces@lists.xensource.com Errors-To: xen-devel-bounces@lists.xensource.com To: xen-devel@lists.xensource.com, keir.fraser@eu.citrix.com Cc: Gary.Grebus@oracle.com List-Id: xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org During the testing of Intel blades we found that the Serial Over LAN does not generate IRQs that well. Gary came up with a patch that figures out if it needs to poll or just work as before (IRQ). The benefit of this patch is that you don't need to do: com1=115200,8n1,0 but instead can just do com1=115200,8n1 which is great in the field where you don't want the bootup file to change.
