[Xen-devel] [PATCH] Fix "xm restore" require 4 times amount of memory on ia64.



Hi,

When restoring a guest on ia64, xen tries to allocate 4 times amount
of memory as large as that of the guest.
(For example:
 If your guest memory size is 5GB, 'xm restore' will need 20GB!)

In XendCheckpoint.py, the page size is hard coded to 4KB.
That is:
    nr_pfns = (dominfo.getMemoryTarget() + 3) / 4

But page size is 16KB on ia64 system.

This patch fixes the problem.


Thanks.
