Re: [Xen-users] Re: Difficulties inserting external modules in dom0 & using a serial port

[Michael LeMay <lemaymd@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

As an update, I figured out the "force_evtchn_callback" problem.  My 
module used the spin_lock_irq and spin_unlock_irq routines, which 
eventually trickled back to force_evtchn_callback.  I'm cross-posting 
this to -devel in case this is a real problem.  It seems like these 
calls should be supported...  Thanks for the help!
