RE: [PATCH] Re: [Xen-devel] Xen crash on dom0 shutdown



Hi, Keir,

As I tested my patch today, I find cs18539 breaks my system. I have to revert 
this changeset to test MSI.
Here is the output from serial port.

The actually call trace is do_physdev_op->pirq_guest_unbind, which definitely 
is in unmap_pirq hypercall for MSI interrupt. This will happen when dom0 first 
unbind guest pirq and then unmap that pirq. I think this little patch will fix 
the problem. But I am not quite sure whether this will break the intension of 
cs 18539.
