We no longer have that and so that 16MB is now part of the ordinary allocation pool. So you see 9MB extra in that pool, which is that 16MB minus the book-keeping allocations (about 7MB of them) which now occur from the unified pool. -- Keir > Thank you!!! _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel |
