RE: [Xen-ia64-devel] RE: Refering Xen files within XenLinux

["Tian, Kevin" <kevin.tian@xxxxxxxxx>]

What's the purpose of that directory? Seems it more like a sync issue,
instead of a run-time issue. For the former, it can be intercepted at
compilation phase and should be updated together with all other files
(*.c, *.h) since they're in same set...

Thanks,
Kevin
