First, Jan, I want to acknowledge your excellent work so far. I understand from similar experience on Xen/ia64 that this work is very difficult, time-consuming, and -- though critical -- often unrewarded. A suggestion: You are rapidly becoming an expert in what it takes to port Linux to run on Xen. A useful by-product of your effort would be to create a list of every difference between Linux and Xenlinux along with WHY this difference is necessary. This document would be exceedingly useful when the effort commences to merge all of the changes upstream and would also be helpful to future Linux (and other OS) porters. Dan P.S. In the code, #ifdef CONFIG_XEN /* _crossref-number_ */ would be a good way to cross-ref the document. _______________________________________________ Xen-merge mailing list Xen-merge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-merge |
