What is the purpose of load_cr3() here?
I'd like to make this load_cr3() more arch generic for ia64 support.
(or eliminate it if possible)
I think it's an unnecessary left-over from when I was trying to get that stuff to work. I can't think of a good reason not to just remove it if it causes you problems.

Here is the patch. I did only compile test.


BTW, I tried to split the suspend/resume stuff into common and things which were definitely x86-specific with you in mind. How close did I get?

Almost complete. Your effort made my task easier.
I haven't yet succeeded to save/restore, though.

Is CONFIG_PM_SLEEP necessary?
Yes.

It's necessary because the Xen save/restore code calls into various core functions to handle things like resuming timekeeping; that code is compiled controlled by CONFIG_PM_SLEEP.

Since ia64 doesn't define ARCH_HIBERNATION_POSSIBLE nor
ARCH_SUSPEND_POSSIBLE.
Although I can define them in ia64/xen/Kconfig, I'd like to leave
them untouched if possible.

Hm, not sure how can address that then.

I'll confirm test that the load_cr3() is unnecessary later today.
