[Xen-devel] Re: [PATCH 3/7] libxenlight resend: 8mb physmap slack for pv domains

[andres@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I can cut the patch that way, however ... a fixed 8mb slack for pv domains
has been in place at least since Dec 08 2006, changeset 12803. No one
seems to have needed an optionally larger or smaller slack ;)
