RE: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] Automatic bigsmp detection for i386 systemswith
Hi Keir, Ian,
Thanks for the comments. I think you should be receiving these
systems soon.
I assume you are talking about the "big bang re-sync" of the hypervisor
and not of domain0 kernels :) The patch is for Hypervisor.
Thanks & Regards,
Nitin
