Good work. I simply think the SUPPORT_PV_BE_DOMU macro should be removed. This feature is safe and the macro only makes the code harder to read.

Thanks Tristan. Attached is a new patch without the SUPPORT_PV_BE_DOMU macro.

Seems simple and safe enough for me. If we can keep the interfaces clean, I don't see why we shouldn't support BE domains. I applied this, maybe it will help justify the common code changes. Thanks,

Alex

many thanks for applying this. I will start a new, hopefully better, attempt to get the mini-os for bi-endianness running, so everybody can test this feature. Is it ok to send a patch for the domain-loader to xen-devel, to get BE domains started? Thanks again.

Dietmar.
