Tim, Hi

The following are from the previous version, but you might want to test
at least of them.

Testing Issues
=======================
We observed issues in the testing, especially in SMP VMX.
1. In IA32e platform, UP VMX or SMP VMX could not be started with error
info.

# xm cr -f config.up
Using config file "config.up".
Error: (12, 'Cannot allocate memory')

See attached xend.log

2. In IA32 platform, when starting one SMP VMX and one UP VMX together,
dom0 will reboot.
See attached console log

3. In IA32 platform, when starting 4 UP VMX together, dom0 will reboot

4. In IA32 platform, when starting 2 UP VMX and 2 UP xenU, 2 xenU and
one VMX could be started, and one VMX failed to boot.

5. In IA32pae platform, starting PAE enabled SMP VMX (vcpus=4), dom0
will reboot.
See attached console log.

6. In IA32pae platform, starting PAE disabled SMP VMX (vcpus=4), dom0
will reboot.
See attached console log.

7. In IA32pae platform, testing UP VMX from 128M to 3G with 128M step,
dom0 reboots.

8. In IA32 platform, running "halt -p" in SMP VMX and VMX shows "Badness
in send_IPI_mask_bitmask at arch/i386/kernel/smp.c:167"
