Re: [Xen-devel] 2.6.30 dom0 Xen patches

[Boris Derzhavets <bderzhavets@xxxxxxxxx>]

  Seems to work nice Solaris 10 U7 (64-bit) HVM DomU  loads
pretty fast  with PV drivers at Xen 3.4.1-rc7 Ubuntu 9.04 Dom0 with
2.6.30.1 xenified via rebased patch set V.3
 
  I believe V.2 should be considered as deprecated due to recent message from Jan Beulich :-

The second hunk is at best bogus: arch_probe_nr_irqs() only gets
referenced from a code section that's inside CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ, and
when that option is selected, you'll have a duplicate symbol definition
issue between the arch_probe_nr_irqs() in arch/x86/kernel/apic/io_apic.c
and the one in drivers/xen/core/evtchn.c. Additionally, simply enabling
the function in arch/x86/kernel/apic/io_apic.c does not do, as it may
leave you with insufficient space for dynamic IRQs (which is why I
cloned it into a properly working function in drivers/xen/core/evtchn.c).

I have rebased the 2.6.30 Xen patches
(xen-patches-2.6.30-20090703.tb2) that Jan Beulich was kind enough to
send to me before openSUSE switch their tree to 2.6.31-git etc, the
new files are available at
http://code.google.com/p/gentoo-xen-kernel/downloads/list

xen-sources-2.6.30-r2.ebuild
xen-patches-2.6.30-3.tar.bz2

Non-Gentoo users can simply apply the patches to 2.6.30.1 in numeric order.

As usual I did not include patches that are for backwards
compatibility, suse specific features, experimental features (eg
tmem), or that require patches to Xen itself.

Note that James Harper's gplpv driver for networking (xennet.sys) does
not work with 2.6.30, he has given me a patch which works around the
problem but you will need to recompile the drivers yourself, the patch
is:
