RE: [Xen-ia64-devel] Community effort neededtocatch upwithxen-unstable

["Tian, Kevin" <kevin.tian@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Dan,

        Actually... I gave up. ;-( It's easier to bring back previous fixes 
even when merge process made some regression, than manually pull in some 
specific changesets which furthermore require other related ones. Now 
xen_start_info becomes a pointer, and console driver was completely re-written 
to utilize xenstore, and more... So, please begin to merge the xenlinux, as a 
necessary step for subsequent debug. ;-)

Thanks,
Kevin
