Re: [Xen-ia64-devel] [PATCH]redefine raw_smp_processor_id()

[Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@xxxxxx>]

   Cleaning up the xen tree to remove warnings would be great!  It seems
like a lot of new warnings started showing up when x86 updated their xen
base to 2.6.16-rc2.  I suspect things like this redefinition of
raw_smp_processor_id() might be a side-effect of that.  I've been
working on trying to update the source base, but there are some ugly
things that need to get fixed and I haven't had the time to dedicate to
it.

   I have a couple scripts that I've been working on to help facilitate
the manual process of creating patches and applying them.  Attached
below is one that parses the README.origin files and tries to
automatically merge the tree up to a newer source base.  It processes
all 159 files in the README.origin files in the current
xen-ia64-unstable tree and leaves only 11 for manual merge.  I've had
great success using a similar script to facilitate updating the sparse
tree.  The script is attached below if anyone wants to experiment or
have a go at updating the tree (feedback and improvements welcome).  If
they look good, I'll eventually check these into the xen/arch/ia64/tools
tree alongside Dan's script which I used as a starting point.  I think
before we have a Xen/ia64 compiler warning squash party, it would be
good to move to a source base matching x86 (a lot of the warnings will
go away from this).  Thanks,

        Alex
