[Xen-ia64-devel] RE: How is the basic tree coming?

["Magenheimer, Dan (HP Labs Fort Collins)" <dan.magenheimer@xxxxxx>]

Sorry... 99% of the changes I've committed have been
maintenance, namely getting Xen/ia64 to compile with
CONFIG_SMP (which can't even be turned off on Xen/x86)
and catching the code up to the latest linux release.
I wasn't intending to add new functionality or impact
the multi-domain effort.  I did get curious to see how
far the SMP boot was getting and added some printk's
and missing code (that was already in Xen/x86)
but gave up on that rather quickly due to needing
to do other maintenance activities (2.6.13).  Rather
than throw away useful debugging code, I checked it in.

Last, I've been cleaning up some linux files that
were changed (without ifdef's) and doing some minor
restructuring following Arun's removal of the mkbuildtree
patch process.

I still have some more 2.6.13 work, but it should
be done tomorrow.

If any of this maintenance interfered with the multi-domain
repair, I apologize.  But it seemed like it was orthogonal
so a good time to do it.  (And if anyone else wants to
volunteer to do my boring maintenance tasks, please
let me know :-)
