By the way, I wonder how PPC manages to build both drivers/char/ mem.c and drivers/xen/char/mem.c without ARCH_HAS_DEV_MEM? The model is supposed to be that mem_fops defined by the Xen file is picked up by the generic file. If !ARCH_HAS_DEV_MEM then that doesn't happen -- so who picks up the Xen
mem_fops?

Hmmm, yeah. Looks like we haven't tested that... :)

yeah, we have :)
xlate_dev_mem_ptr() works just fine for us, so drivers/char/mem.c just works and the xen version of the ops is never considered.

Actually we should be forcing CONFIG_XEN_DEVMEM, but the Makefile ignores it.
