[Xen-devel] [PATCH] Replace hypervisor assert

[Michael Abd-El-Malek <mabdelmalek@xxxxxxx>]

While trying to run a 32-bit PV domU on a 64-bit hypervisor, I triggered an 
assert in the hypervisor.  The assert dealt with the maximum number of grants 
that a domU can have.  I made the hypervisor a bit more graceful by returning an 
error rather than asserting.
