Subject: [PATCH 06/15] xen: disable PAT
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2009 11:09:50 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1237831799-6568-7-git-send-email-jeremy@goop.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <49C45238.7050007@zytor.com>

From: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com>

Impact: disable PAT under Xen

Xen imposes a particular PAT layout on all paravirtual guests which
does not match the layout Linux would like to use.

Force PAT to be disabled until this is resolved.
