[Xen-devel] [PATCH 2/6] xenpaging: prevent page-out of first 16MB

[Olaf Hering <olaf@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is more a workaround than a bugfix:
Don't page out first 16MB of memory.
When the BIOS does its initialization process and xenpaging removes
pages, crashes will occour due to lack of support of xenpaging.

A more complet change to prevent the early crashes is to use the newly
added wait_queue feature in the gfn_to_mfn() variants.
