OK, attached is the set of patches by far. Based on them, now I can
enable grant table and also a small xenstore test in dom0 succeeds.
However the root device still can't be located:


From your xeno patch:

+#define virt_to_mfn(v) (__pa(v) >> PAGE_SIZE)
+#define mfn_to_virt(m) (__va(m << PAGE_SIZE))

PAGE_SIZE should be PAGE_SHIFT, shouldn't it?

Exactly right, John. I sent out a bit stale patch, and I've already
fixed these two incautious lines locally. But due to no obvious fix
after that (Still struggling with xenbus communication), I'm lazy to
send out. ;-) Hopefully today I'll push out one latest patch, since I've
found an obvious bug when xenbus initialization (IPF specific).

Thanks,
Kevin


I know some of the answer to the xenbus problem, I think. The problem is that the store_evtchn is not getting set. This requires everal changes: xc_linux_build needs to set it, it needs to be added to the arch_shared_info_t, ... I think I'm close.

John
