1. This kernel module is not running within Xen, but a standalone module running in Dom0.

OK, I understand now. I was confused because the email thread didn't mention xenlinux so I thought it was a patch for Xen.

3. We haven¡¯t found a good place to contain these files. So temporarily put under xen/arch/ia64. Then do you have any good suggestion for the place? We¡¯d like to hear that.

I have been keeping a separate tree for paravirtualized xenlinux and non-VTI work on multiple domains has been going into that tree. When we have something working and can specify a patch that uses asm-specific headers to differentiate between common and arch-dep, we should submit the changes to Keir for the main xeno-unstable tree. However, per a discussion on xen-devel a month ago, Chris Wright is working on restructuring the xeno-unstable.bk/xenlinux tree, so it is probably best to just maintain the changes separately until the restructuring is done.

It might make sense to have a public VTI-xenlinux tree, but until the Xen team decides what source code management tool we will all be using, it is probably not a good idea to create another bk tree.

In any case, I don't think the changed files belong in xeno-xxx.bk/xen/arch/ia64 if they are not linked into the Xen/ia64 hypervisor.

Thanks, Dan
