Hi all,

I have been trying to use reserved-memory carveouts in DomU, but failing 
constantly.

This is the log from Dom1 boot:

[    0.000000] earlycon: uart8250 at MMIO32 0x0000000053914000 (options '115200n

This is my passthrough.dts:

   86                 };
   87          };

   88    };


And this is my dom1.cfg file:

 1 name = "dom1"
 2 memory = 256
 3 vcpus = 4
 4 
 5 kernel = "/boot/xen-dom1/Image"
 6 extra = "console=ttyS0,115200n8 earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0x53914000,115200n8 
loglevel=8 root=/dev/xvda rw"
 7 
 8 # UART1 (0x53914000) passthrough to Dom1 console
 9 iomem = ["0x53914,1"]
11 irqs = [ 334 ]
12 dtdev = [ "/bus@100000/bus@22000000/uart@53914000"]
13 vif = ["script=vif-route"]
14 device_tree = "/boot/xen-dom1/passthrough.dtb"
15 #  
17 disk = ["phy:/dev/vda2,xvda,rw"]


Am I doing something wrong? Any help or debugging leads would be really 
appreciated...

Thank you,
Beleswar
