New release candidates for Xen 3.4.3 and 4.0.0

[Keir Fraser]

Folks,

New release candidates are available:
http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.4-testing.hg (tag 3.4.3-rc3)
http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg (tag 4.0.0-rc5)

Please test! I think both of these are pretty close to final now.

Mapping guest physical addresses to guest virtual addresses

[Abhinav Srivastava]

Hi there,

Is there any function inside Xen that can convert guest physical addresses to guest virtual addresses? I know how to do this by iterating on the page table by myself, however I was wondering if there is an existing functionality already in the Xen. I need this conversion inside sh_propagate function to know which va is being propagated. I am using 32-bit guest windows OS on the top of PAE Xen.

I look forward hearing from you soon.

Thanks,
Abhinav

Hello,

Are you planning to switch the default in xen-unstable from 'xen/master' 
xen.git branch to xen/stable, or perhaps xen/stable-2.6.32.x ?

I want to get ACPI power management into .32 before doing that, or we'll 
be dealing with lots of regression reports.

Hello,

I just noticed xen/stable-2.6.32.x doesn't have the netchannel2 stuff.. 
Is netchannel2 ok quality for 2.6.32.x?

To be honest, I was waiting to see if anyone noticed.  I merged it in, 
but I've never tested it myself, and I wasn't at all sure that anyone 
had been using it.  I could merge it in, but it is very far from being 
upstreamable.

Well it doesn't hurt.. I was planning to try it sometime in the near future.
So feel free to merge it in xen/stable-2.6.32.x when you have time.
