Hmmm... Actually looks like a bunch of architectures do lazy sync of the vmalloc area, although neither ia64 nor powerpc does so. However, all current users of the alloc_vm_area() function would be okay since none of the other lazy-syncing architectures are supported by Xen. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
