Re: [Xen-devel] Help with CONFIG_COMPAT
 
CONFIG_COMPAT is always set for 64-bit hypervisor. You can consider it
equivalent to CONFIG_X86_64 really, but it's generally used to indicate
stuff relating to the compat shim.
Theoretically if CONFIG_COMPAT were not set then 64-bit Xen could not run
32-bit guests (dom0 or domU). But CONFIG_COMPAT is never disabled in
practice.
