Hi all,
I would just let you know that I found a regression in the hypervisor:
CS 23573 causes PV on HVM guests to hang during boot.
The offending commit is the following:


# HG changeset patch
# User Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxxxx>
# Date 1308825163 -3600
# Node ID 584c2e5e03d96f912cdfe90f8e9f910d5d661706
# Parent  4e9562c1ce4ecaac40011556c16712aefd47afa6
replace d->nr_pirqs sized arrays with radix tree

With this it is questionable whether retaining struct domain's
nr_pirqs is actually necessary - the value now only serves for bounds
checking, and this boundary could easily be nr_irqs.

Note that ia64, the build of which is broken currently anyway, is only
being partially fixed up.

v2: adjustments for split setup/teardown of translation data

v3: re-sync with radix tree implementation changes
