RE: [Xen-devel] minor gcc4 fixes

[Jerone Young <jyoung5@xxxxxxxxxx>]

My explanation was a bit off (off like driving off a cliff), 

The problem is that GCC4 is seeing is that variable such as frame (in
grant_table.c) is passed into a function without initialization. Again
for the variable sl1mfn  (in shadow.c) does the same thing. So really
the patches should be:
