Hi, Wing CC: Keir and Ewan

Attachment is a patch implementing NVRAM for IA64. The patch is to add patch through libxc to remove the file access dependency from Qemu. The patch doesn't touch much of the

common code, just add a hook in Xend and a HVM param in XEN. Hope your comments on it. Nvram is important to IA64, we got many requirements for it.Thx:-)

Wing, this patch is great improvement. Without this patch, we cannot boot windows 2008, and also cannot boot windows 2003 automatically on ia64.

I have a few commens. PERROR doesn't print messages because libxc doesn't have terminal. So it is better to pass Error codes (e.g. ENOMNT, EPERM..) to xend so xend can catch exceptions and, as a result, it puts error messages in xend.log.

How do you like this?

Keir and Ewan, do you have any other comments?

Best Regards,
