[Xen-devel] [PATCH] Check allocations when starting HVM domains

["Charles Coffing" <ccoffing@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Several page allocations, done in the hypervisor when starting an HVM
domain, are not checked.  This can cause the physical machine to crash
when starting the HVM domain during low-memory conditions.

One patch is against xen-3.0-testing; the other is for xen-unstable.

Kudos to Charles Arnold for catching the problem with
shadow_direct_map_init.
