Wasn't it that Mukesh's patch simply was yours with the two
get_ioreq()s folded by using a local variable?
Yes. As so
Thanks. Except that ...

... you don't want to drop the blank line, and naming the new

And, as said before, I'd think "!p ||" instead of "p &&" would be
the right thing here. Yang, Jun?
I have two patches - one the simpler one that is pretty straightfoward
and the one you suggested. Either one fixes PVH guests. I also did
bootup tests with HVM guests to make sure they worked.

Attached and inline.

But they do different things -- one does "ioreq && ioreq->state..." and the other does "!ioreq || ioreq->state...". The first one is incorrect, AFAICT.
