Re: [Xen-devel] Re: [PATCH] ia64 build fixes

   Here's a patch that enables HYPERVISOR_sched_op() and
HYPERVISOR_sched_opt_compat() for ia64.  We currently have no users of
this call, but there's no harm in enabling it (tested by adding a
HYPERVISOR_yield() call to default_idle()). I did notice a problem with
the compat interface though, nothing defines __XEN_INTERFACE_VERSION__
for the build of xen.  We're therefore stuck on interface version
0x00000000 where __HYPERVISOR_sched_op_compat == __HYPERVISOR_sched_op.

Well, it doesn't actually matter right now since Xen itself does not use the __HYPERVISOR_foo numbers. But yes, I can see this might bite us later so we ought to define it.

Ah, I'm forgetting you have a hypercall switch statement. I'll add the version number.

With regard to your patch, actually I was thinking more about the vmx hypercall interface which already supports sched_op_compat --- should that one have sched_op added too, in vmx_hypercall.c?
