Mini-OS on ARM
==============

This session covered mini-os bringup on 64-bit ARM platforms.
The following points arose during discussion:

*) 32-bit Mini-OS may have bit-rotted
   o) Some memory addresses may have been hard-coded for instance.
   o) The memory map in Xen can change between releases.


I think this might have been fixed by Juergen.

This session was about Mini-OS on ARM and this patch is x86 specific.

The problem is Mini-OS on ARM is using hardcoded addresses and interrupt number for some devices. This needs to be fix if you want mini-os to work on any Xen ARM release.

     minios: don't rely on specific page table allocation scheme

     Today mini-os is making assumptions how the page tables it is started
     with are being allocated. Especially it is using the number of page
     table frames to calculate which is the first unmapped pfn.

     Instead of relying on page table number assumptions just look into the
     page tables to find the first pfn not already mapped.
