Hi,

Disable memshr in tools/blktap2/Makefile. Find a patch next to this
mail, unless Keir pulled it in by the time you read this.

Disable CONFIG_HIGHPTE, the config you posted has it enabled.

The pvops kernel wants a bunch of patches which haven't made it into
Jeremy's tree yet. The latest version was posted here.

http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2010-02/msg00331.html

Let me know if this work for you. Especially if it doesn't, but I
haven't heard about more open issues lately.

Thanks,
Daniel
