I've been trying to add a field into vcpu_info_t for some per-vcpu
flags.  Attached is a small patch that does nothing more than add the
field.  However, it causes problems when booting dom0 smp, so I
obviously need to update some code elsewhere to account for the change.

Can anyone give me a pointer to where I should making additionalchanges

when adding a new field to vcpu_info_t ?

If you can fit in the two existing bytes of padding then nothing willneed changing. Otherwise there is asm code in Linux (entry.S) thatprobably needs adjusting.
