The first two have already been posted to the list individually but are presented here as a group. Patch 1 contains an implementation of a new hypercall which will not truncate 64bit pointers to 32bit when in compatability mode. Patch 2 changes the per cpu crash notes to be allocated on boot. Patch 3 implements logic to allow Xen to specifically allocate the crash notes and console buffer in lower memory because if 64/32bit issues on machines with large quantities of RAM.
