[Xen-devel] Re: [powerpc] initial PowerPC support

We're using x86/irq.c wholesale, and so need this extra PIC logic.
xen/common/memory.c
PowerPC's page->count_info is a long, because atomic operations are
performed on it. There's no need to change its type for the other
architectures, but this printk needed to change.
xen/include/public/xencomm.h
This is the data structure that Linux uses to pass arbitrarily sized
buffers to Xen, so it needs to be in public/ .
We'd like to separate changes to existing files from addition of new
files. Could you send a patch that contains all modifications to
existing files (including makefiles), and then we'll comment on that
separately from the bulk. This is the way we work with the ia64 team --
our pulls from their tree only bring in changes to ia64-specific code.
All changes to common code are submitted separately as patches.
I think the changes are all okay to start with: I wonder why you call
the arch powerpc rather than ppc? Also the change to the ARCH variable
munging in xen/Rules.mk is strange -- do you have trailing characters
after 'powerpc' that need to be stripped off? There's a bogus extra
file in your tree (XendDomainInfo.py.orig).
What is the current status of this code in terms of stability and
features? For example, does it work on a range of PPC systems, can
unprivileged guests perform I/O, etc?
