Just to check again, has anyone actually seen a problem with

that even if tmem defaults to enabled, the problem is impossible
unless a guest enables tmem (or, in the case of SuSE, dom0).
And even if a guest does enable tmem, the problem manifested
largely due to shadow pages using order>0 (now fixed?)...
failure on domain creation can happen for many reasons and
is much less of an issue, true?
Feel free to shoot me down with more evidence, but I have
to at least provide token resistance to this patch. Distros
might certainly choose to disable it to avoid any risk at
all, but turning it off anymore seems overkill for xen.org
open source Xen IMHO.
Tbh I was wondering whether anyone is really using it in earnest. No
upstream kernels support it? If noone's using it, who really cares whether
it's enabled or not, apart from its author.

Well, it is present but disabled in the new Debian Squeeze kernel... and
as there is no documentation, there is no chance to see it enabled.
I had to search on the xen lists to find how to enable that.
For example :
http://www.google.fr/search?hl=fr&source=hp&q=tmem_compress
We should maybe add info about tmem on the Xen Wiki, no ?
