Subject: [PATCH] tools/libxc: Avoid hypercalls for cacheflush on x86
Date: Mon, 3 Mar 2014 14:37:58 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1393857478-14993-1-git-send-email-andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> (raw)

XEN_DOMCTL_cacheflush hypercalls are -ENOSYS on x86.  As domain
creation/migration is already very hypercall-heavy, avoid making extra
redundant hypercalls

Discovered when running valgrind against XenServer trunk, which is now 4.4
based.
