RE: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] [RESUBMIT] Clustered xAPIC and Unisys ES7000 patch

Yes, I agree that the Linux 2.6 hooks make it easier to support the
platform specific code otherwise it will be ifdef hell. :)

Is it possible to get a copy of this patch? Does the patch move the
ACPI/PCI code to Dom0? Is the APIC/IO APIC code too moving to Dom0?

I'd like to get Intel's ACPI/PCI patch checked in, then upgrade the 
remaining platform code to as close to Linux 2.6 as possible, including 
the mach-specific platform hooks. Those hooks make supporting these odd 
NUMA platforms a lot more palatable. :-)

We *do* want platform-support patches, but I don't think the tree is 
ready for this one just now. Hopefully in a few weeks...

  Thanks,
