If was thinking of something like this in the header file:


int xen_must_unplug_nics() {
#if (defined(CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND) || \
defined(CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND_MODULE)) && \
(defined(CONFIG_XEN_PLATFORM_PCI) || \
defined(CONFIG_XEN_PLATFORM_PCI_MODULE))
return 1;
#else
return 0;
}

and then your code would be:

if (xen_must_unplug_nics()) {
printk(".. blah blah ");
xen_emul_unplug |- XEN_unPLIG_ALL_NICS;
}

and similar for the IDE disks.

Please do.
