[Xen-ia64-devel] [PATCH] Add prototype for __get_free_pages

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

Due to upgrading to 2.6.13, missing prototypes for several new memory
allocate interfaces actually destroy the xenheap. The machine just MCA
once xenU is created and executed in metaphysical mode.

Missing prototype makes allocated address from __get_free_pages
truncated to 32bit:
        d->arch.mm->pgd = pgd_alloc(d->arch.mm);

In this case, 0xe0000000040f8000 is truncated to 0x40f8000 as the pgd
base address. Later when Xen tries to access this table for querying
guest physical -> machine mapping, page fault handler doesn't consider
it as legal hypervisor address and something goes weird. Finally MCA
happens.

Signed-off-by Kevin Tian <Kevin.tian@xxxxxxxxx>

Thanks,
Kevin
