RE: [Xen-ia64-devel] [Xen-devel] [PATCH]Make VTIdomain boot again

["Xu, Anthony" <anthony.xu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Do_softirq is invoked at the path of ia64_leave_kernel instead of being 
invoking in function irq_exit, which is aligned with XEN/X86 and avoids 
__enter_schedule being reentered. VTIdomain can boot again after applying this 
patch.

BTW, a small bug is fixed.
- (p6)  br.call.sptk.many b0=deliver_pending_interrupt
+(pUStk)        br.call.sptk.many b0=deliver_pending_interrupt
Since P6 is scratch register, after returning from deliver_pending_interrupt, 
p6 may be changed. But p6 is also used by subsequent code and should not be 
changed. 

Signed-off-by Anthony Xu <anthony.xu@xxxxxxxxx>

Thanks,
-Anthony
