RE: [Xen-ia64-devel] [PATCH] fix access rights in VHPT whenitr.ar!=dtr.a

Hi Anthony,

Exactly.
But I was not confident that it is permissive to set dtr.ar=3(RWX)
instead of dtr.ar=2(RW).
If we did that, the original value would be lost.
The value is observable by xenctx command.
And PAL_VM_TR_READ is not implemented yet but it would return the
wrong value. :)

Thanks,
Kouya
