[RFC/PATCH PV_OPS X86_64 00/17] Paravirt_ops for x86_64

[Steven Rostedt]

Hi all,

Glauber and I have been playing around with getting paravirt ops working
on the x86_64.  We have our own version of lguest running there too.
We have lguest64 running up to console_init, and then it takes an
interrupt storm.  I'll be posting those patches tomorrow.

Glauber and I have been sharing a git repo that isn't open to the public.
(we don't want people to see how crappy our stuff is yet ;)
Well, it's still kind of crappy, but it's starting to work. So I spent
today, pulling out patches related only to paravirt ops from our git
repo, and separating them to be readable. Well, here they are.

Tomorrow, I'll post what we got for lguest64 running.

Thanks!

Cool.  I had split these up slightly differently, with core changes
coming first (like places where raw asm is still left behind), followed
by adding in the paravirt bits.  I think it would be useful to get those
simple basic changes to the front of the queue, because they can
largely be merged right away w/out issue.  I'll look through the lot
tomorrow.

thanks,

The way I split it, and what took me so long to split it, was that I
wanted each patch to be able to compile. There was one two-way
dependency, I think that was between patches 7 and 8. But the most part,
each addition of a patch allowed for a successful compile.  I didn't
test running those though ;)

I can work on splitting it better. After pushing out the lguest64
patches (coming soon).
