In my case, xc_altp2m_set_vcpu_enable_notify always return -1 just as the author comments.Besides, I've also found no existing usage about this function all over the Internet. So I'm wondering if this function actually works or not. Anyway, why would the author comments that? @Ian @Tamas
That's a comment I made while reviewing back when I wrote the userspace components and was left in and should be probably removed.

You should put in some extra gdprintk's into the altp2m path of Xen to see how far it gets when you try to enable VE. That would enable us to pinpoint where it gets stuck exactly.
