    Subject[patch 00/21] Xen-paravirt: Xen guest implementation for paravirt_ops interface
    Hi Andi,

    This patch series implements the Linux Xen guest in terms of the
    paravirt-ops interface. The features in implemented this patch series
    are:
    * domU only
    * UP only (most code is SMP-safe, but there's no way to create a new vcpu)
    * writable pagetables, with late pinning/early unpinning
    (no shadow pagetable support)
    * supports both PAE and non-PAE modes
    * xen console
    * virtual block device (blockfront)
    * virtual network device (netfront)

    The patch series is in two parts:

    1-12: cleanups to the core kernel, either to fix outright problems,
    or to add appropriate hooks for Xen
    13-21: the Xen guest implementation itself

    I've tried to make each patch as self-explanatory as possible. The
    series is based on git changeset
    ec2f9d1331f658433411c58077871e1eef4ee1b4 +
    x86_64-2.6.20-git8-070213-1.patch.

    Changes since the previous posting:
    - rebased
    - addressed review comments:
    - deal with missing vga hardware better
    - deal with Andi's comments
    - clean up header file placement
    - update netfront, and move it into drivers/net

    I looked at linking in xen-head.S rather than including it into
    xen-head.S, but it seems to provoke linker bugs, so I've left it as-is
    for now.

    Thanks,
    J
