Hi list,

I was hoping some people "in the know" about how the hypervisor works etc could 
take a look at the thread below and hopefully offer some advice.

http://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2063&p=8759#p8745

The PaX developers are trying to get their patch to work on a 2.6.28 
paravirt_ops kernel. They already have PaX working with a 2.6.27 paravirt_ops 
kernel, but a recent change to the PaX patch, specifically to map up to 4GB 
initially in the identity map is causing the kernel to panic when booted under 
xen.

Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated by all.

Cheers,

Brad
