Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] Synchronize privcmd header constants

[Andres Lagar-Cavilla <andreslc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've had a look. The xen.org tree knows about three other OSes: minios, solaris 
and netbsd. None knows about paged out frames. None uses the 
XEN_DOMCTL_PFINFO_PAGEDTAB constant in domctl.h

1. The domctl.h constant can still go away without hurting other OSes.
2. It is trivial to add the PRIVCMD_MMAPBATCH_* constants to the privcmd.h of 
other OSes. It can't hurt. I can do it here. Each OS Xen maintainer would have 
to take care of syncing that up in the respective upstream. However ...
3. Not that trivial to teach all these OSes about paged out frames. Does anyone 
care?

Please advise.
Thanks
Andres
