[Xen-devel] Adding another GPE section to an HVM, causes the original GPE to stop functioning

[Tom Rotenberg <tom.rotenberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I am working with Xen 3.4, and i'm using a Windows XP HVM. The problem
i'm experiencing is as follows:
I'm trying to add another GPE section, (for my own ACPI events), and
i'm using the following patch:

    .gpe0_blk_len = ACPI_GPE0_BLK_LEN,

      .p_lvl3_lat = 0x0fff, /* >1000, means we do not support C3 state */
      .iapc_boot_arch = ACPI_8042,

Since i have inserted this new GPE block, the outcome is, that my new
GPE block is responding OK, however, the old GPE block (the regular
Xen gpe0 block), isn't responding anymore - thus i can't
hot-plugqhot-unplug PT devices.

I have analyzed the qemu logs a little bit, and it looks like, since
the addition of the new GPE block, Windows for some reason, only
enables the new gpe block (gpe1 block), and disables the old gpe block
(regular Xen gpe0 block).

Can someone please assist me with this issue?

Tom
