Subject: [PATCH 14/17] xenpaging: prevent page-out of first 16MB
Date: Mon, 06 Dec 2010 21:59:21 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101206205913.112645801@aepfle.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20101206205907.848643876@aepfle.de

[-- Attachment #1: xen-unstable.xenpaging.blacklist.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 824 bytes --]

This is more a workaround than a bugfix:
Don't page out first 16MB of memory.
When the BIOS does its initialization process and xenpaging removes pages,
crashes will occour due to lack of support of xenpaging.
