Hi All, These patches update the xm-test code to be more easily portable to new architecture. This focus of this endeavor is PPC but I believe that IA64 also benefits.

Patch summary:

1: Instead of using a dated snapshot (which no longer exists) use buildroot-snapshot.

The last time I built a xm-test ramdisk, the buildroot-snapshot was broken, and I had to go back a few days to find a working one. I'm wary of using buildroot-snapshot for that reason. Does anyone work within the buildroot community? Perhaps we could persuade them to keep "released" versions around, rather than just the expiring, daily snapshots?

Ewan, if you have some problem with patch 1/6, could you still apply the rest to xen-unstable? 2/6 wouldn't apply cleanly, but should be easy to do by hand.

I've got no particular problem with these patches (we'll host the buildroot tar on xenbits, which was the only query). The tree's feature-frozen now though -- we're at RC2 -- so these will drop in immediately after the release.

Ewan.
