Hello list.

I'm having trouble building the xen linux pv drivers from xen 3.4.1:
[guillaume@oberkampf linux-2.6]$ make -C /lib/modules/2.6.31.5-desktop-1mnb/build/ M=$PWD modules
make: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.31.5-desktop-1mnb'
CC [M] /home/guillaume/xen-3.4.1/unmodified_drivers/linux-2.6/balloon/balloon.o In file included from /home/guillaume/xen-3.4.1/unmodified_drivers/linux-2.6/balloon/balloon.c:51: include/xen/interface/memory.h:32: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'GUEST_HANDLE' include/xen/interface/memory.h:53: warning: data definition has no type or storage class

My current kernel is a 2.6.31.5, and I'm using a vanilla 2.6.30.2 + Andrew Lyon patches as xenified linux tree.


I think unmodified_drivers is currently only supported on Linux 2.6.18.
They are commit logs message in mercurial about fixing build with Linux 2.6.27+, so I think at least 2.6.27 is supposed to build.

Novell has some patches to make it work on 2.6.27.
Is there a public repository available for them ?

Also, afaik, someone at Redhat is working on porting the
unmodified_drivers to pv_ops framework for upstream Linux kernel.
Again, I'm interested by any reference about where to find the code.
