xen-ia64-devel

Re: [Xen-devel] Re: [Xen-ia64-devel] [PATCH 0/3] IA64: add cpufreq suppo

Hi Yu. I tested it and have some comments.

- When I run xenpm, xen panics 
  It panics at 0xf40000000406ba91 =
  xen-unstable.hg/xen/drivers/acpi/pmstat.c:98 (addr2line told)
  It looks like pxpt->u.pt[pxpt->u.cur] wasn't allocated yet resulting
  in NULL pointer reference.

- From the boot message, ondemand governor fails to load.
  I'm not sure this error is expected because of my hardware.
  I guess this error case haven't been tested and that it caused
  the above panic.

- I added work around to avoid the above panic, but
  xenpm needs the following patch to get the following result.
  NOTE: hyperthreading is enabled.
