Re: [XenPPC] Should the platform name be "Xen-Maple"

[Jimi Xenidis <jimix@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This comes from the fact that we are running xen from an underlying  
host platform.
for example, if you boot linux without xen but on SLOF your machine  
name is "Maple".
see:
  arch/powerpc/platforms/xen/setup.c define_machine 246  
define_machine(xen)

I'd be interested in changing this to "Xen" for DomUs, but Dom0  
should reflect the underlying machine type that linux would use  
without Xen.
