I've installed xen-4.1.1-1.fc16.src.rpm. It doesn't contain mentioned patch.
Added patch as raw content of

http://xenbits.xen.org/hg/staging/xen-4.1-testing.hg/rev/1976adbf2b80

and rebuilt xen-4.1.1-2.fc15.src.rpm.

It's ptetty much standard procedure , if that's the only one issue in place.
But , i don't have kernel 3.0 on F15 so i cannot test.

This back port works on on Ubuntu 11.10 with 3.0.0-7-generic.

Boris.

No i didn't. There was long thread regarding GCC 4.6 problem when
building "hvmloader" ( F15, U 11.10 both has 4.6)

1. Stefano noticed that problem was GCC 4.6 when building "hvmloader"
2. Official fix was in the same thread
http://xenbits.xen.org/hg/staging/xen-4.1-testing.hg/rev/1976adbf2b80.
Been back ported to 4.1.1 is resolves the issue.

There is build (PPA on Oneiric) and i believe xen-4.1.1-(X).fc16.src.rpm
already has this patch as well. Pasi knows it better.
Regarding Ubuntu 11.10 :-

Ok - thanx for letting us know. I'm a little surprised at fedora - they are
usually very good at back-porting stuff.
