Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 0/3] xen/x86: support setting dom0_mem depending on host size

[Stefano Stabellini <sstabellini@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Juergen,

I don't mean to scope-creep your series, and I think it is fine if you
don't want to do it, but it would be fantastic if you took the
opportunity to make dom0_mem common across architectures.

On ARM, we parse it in xen/arch/arm/domain_build.c:parse_dom0_mem.
I think the ARM and x86 implementations should be the same.

Cheers,

Stefano
