Hi,

this is just a thought about page size.
Contrary to x86 there is no canonical ia64 page size (ps = page size)

Currently we work with Xen ps == dom0 ps == domU ps.
I suppose others scheme are not working yet.

The Xen hypervisor should be ready to support any domain whose ps >= Xen ps.

Dom0 tools are using PAGE_SIZE/PAGE_SHIFT instead of an hypothetical 
XEN_PAGE_SIZE/XEN_PAGE_SHIFT.

DomU uses only one page size for console/xenbus.

We might want to be more generic for shared page + privreg page.

Other issues ?

Tristan.
