[Xen-devel] how to transfer virtual address into pyhsical address

[Yong LIU <yongliu@xxxxxxxxx>]

I write a very simple module to test memory address translation.
When I install the module under xen 3.0, kernel panic. But when
I install it under xen3.0 & kernel 2.6.16-rc2, it can work well.

My question is: Is there a different way to translate virtual address
into physical address under Xen 3.0?
thanks for help. 

dmesg information.
