  • Thread-topic: New memparse function collides with Xen/ia64

It appears there is a new function API between
common and archdep called memparse().  Unfortunately,
Xen/ia64 already implements that in archdep code,
using the standard Linux code and function interface
(which hasn't changed since at least 2.4.7), and
the new xen/common/lib.c code uses virtually the
same code but a new slightly different API.

Could you either:
1) move the new definition to x86-archdep code, or
2) change the API to the Linux one, remove it from
   xen/common/lib.c and add a brand new common/cmdline.c
   (which can be cloned from linux/lib/cmdline.c), or
3) change the API to put the second return-through-pointer
   parameter back (and leave it in xen/common/lib.c)

I prefer (2).

Thanks,
Dan
