1). mem_event_xen_core.patch

"Copyright (c) 2009 Citrix (R)&D) Ltd. (Patrick Colp)"

The lawyers might not like it the copyright being assigned to a non-existent
entity :-(

Oops. That should be easy enough to fix.


2).  mem_paging_xen_pfec_page_paged.patch:

15 +    if ( p2m_is_paging(p2mt) )
 16 +    {
 17 +//        if ( p2m_is_paged(p2mt) )

I think you can safely remove the commented out code.

Yes we can. I thought I had removed all of the lines like that.


3). mem_sharing_xen_mm.patch:

 27 +    /*
 28 +     * Initialise our DOMID_IO domain.
                                ^^->COW
 29 +     * This domain owns sharable pages.
 30 +     */
 31 +    dom_cow = domain_create(DOMID_COW, DOMCRF_dummy, 0);


4), mem_sharing_tools_eagain.patch

The code spins with a 1 second timeout forever. Would it make sense
to include a retry counter so that, say after an hour (or maybe something
much smaller) you give up?

I'll defer these to Grzegorz.


Patrick
