Ian, I sent a second patch to the list last wednesday night/thursday morning April 6. I can resend if you need me to. Some of this work conflicts with my patch (but not a significant amount). These patches are based on linux 2.4. Unfortunately, the code organization changed drastically for linux 2.6 and it will be a bit of work to get the Xen code up to date. However, I do believe that modeling Xen after 2.6 will give a much cleaner implentation -- the code for the various machines which use clustered apics can go into separate files instead of having so many ifdef's in the files. I would like to propose updating all the Xen apic code. I think the first step is just to model new code, such as the ES7000 support code, after 2.6 as far as code organization goes. Then the extra code from 2.4 can be stripped out. I was going to send some patches to start stripping out code but wasn't sure if the Unisys team was using it or not. Clearly they are so that will have to wait. I also wrote a set of patches for Summit clustered APIC support (which are currently untested) so I'm aware of some of the changes which need to be made to the code for re-organization. I'd like to submit some patches for that but they will conflict with these ES7000 patches. So I guess we just need to make a decision what the best way forward is/how much re-org we want to do right now.

Have you a 2nd version of it ready? Thanks, Ian _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
