[Xen-devel] Re: [PATCH 0/3] dom0 linux: Add high MMIO area support

[Yuji Shimada <shimada-yxb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd like to include high MMIO area support into dom0 linux for xen 3.4.

Which linux will xen 3.4 support? I expect xen 3.4 will support both
upstream linux and linux-2.6.18-xen.hg, because I think it is
difficult to merge all function which linux-2.6.18-xen.hg has to
upstream linux. Will xen 3.4 support linux-2.6.27-xen.hg too?


I have more question. If we have some function to be included into
future dom0 linux, what should we do? Should we submit patch to ML
relating to linux?

Thanks,
