Patrick,

there are three more changes to make xenpaging more robust.
Do you need to ack each one to get them merged in xen-unstable?
Should any of these changes go also into the xen-4.0-testing tree for
the 4.0.2 release? If so, I will prepare the patches for this branch.


One more thing: In an earlier mail you mentioned that realmode support
is not there yet. However, in my testing I can run grub and the bios and
even boot into Linux a bit. So it appears there is realmode support,
perhaps still incomplete because the guest crashes in (appearently)
early Linux init functions:

(XEN) realmode.c:115:d1 Failed to emulate insn.
(XEN) realmode.c:165:d1 Real-mode emulation failed @ 9000:0000f81a: 0f 00 00 00 00 00

(XEN) Domain 1 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#0:

I'm poking around and adding debug to the gfn_to_mfn* functions, but none triggers.
Where should I start looking for this kind of bug?

Olaf
