[Xen-devel] [PATCH 0/3] x86: paravirt related cleanup



Cleanup special cases of paravirt patching:

- Xen doesn't need a custom patching function, it can use
  paravirt_patch_default()

- Remove lguest completely from the tree. A LKML mail asking for any
  users 3 months ago did not reveal any need for keeping lguest [1].

- Remove vsmp paravirt support. This is more kind of a RFC. The code
  suggests paravirt support in vsmp might be optional and there is no
  documentation (at least I found none) to support its need.

In case the patches make it to the tree there is quite some potential
for further simplification of paravirt stuff. Especially most of the
pv operations can be put under the CONFIG_XEN_PV umbrella.

Juergen Gross (3):
  paravirt,xen: remove xen_patch()
  x86/lguest: remove lguest support
  x86/vsmp: remove vsmp paravirt support
