It realy shouldn't make any difference. It's probably a question for Xen
Devel tho'.
If you can access the device from kernel mode (have you tried that?)
then you should be able to access it from user-mode, I would have
thought.
The linux kernel is actually responsible for mapping the memory itself,
and aside from checking some permissions, there is no difference to the
hypervisor whether a domain is DomU or Dom0.
Thanks for the advice Mats, I may try posting to the devel list.
Yes
access from the kernel does work, hence my confusion. It seems to be
only the memory mapping to user space that is not working, yet this
code works fine on non-xen kernels.
Stephen.
