Arun,

I tried the patch out on my dual proc x86_64 box running 32-bit SLES9. I
was able to boot the system successfully and bring up a VM. The only
thing which caught my eye was the following in the Dom0 boot.
IOAPIC[0]: Invalid reference to IRQ 0


I'll take a look at this later today.

I am not even sure if this is an error. I have attached the complete
boot sequence.

I noticed that the I/O APICs are still being initialized by Xen. Are you
planning on moving this also to Dom0?


No. As the checkin comments say, ioapics are owned by Xen. dom0 knows about it's existence, but accesses it using hypercalls.
