Hi, at present Xen supports only domU's with the same endianess. The ia64 cpu is able to run in little or big endianess. Currently ia64-Xen runs little endian (dom0 linux too) and supports little endian domU's. I want to add support for big endian domU's on ia64-Xen. My first step is changing the loader stuff to get big endian elf images loaded into the memory. Only tools/libxc/xc_load_elf.c is concerned. Therefore I added some swap inline functions and macros. Please have a look and send your comments! Thanks. Dietmar. Signed-off-by: Dietmar Hahn <dietmar.hahn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
