[Fedora-xen] Fedora-xen-ia64 test status

[Akio Takebe]

Hi, Aron, Juan, all

We could not boot dom0 with kernel-xen-2.6.17-1.2488.fc6 on Tiger4.
So I and Kouya debuged it, and found kernel text area is cleared.
Isuku make a patch which resolve the issue.

And I tested booting dom0 with Isuku's patch.
So My test results is below.

I used the below as dom0 kernel
http://hg.et.redhat.com/kernel/linux-2.6-xen-fedora
＋kernel-2.6.17-ia64-xen.config＋rsvd_region.patch

And I used the latest xen-ia64-unstable.hg and xen-unstable.

With the dom0 and the xen, I can boot dom0.

Then I research the recently cset, I found the following mismatch.
http://hg.et.redhat.com/kernel/linux-2.6-xen-fedora have vDSO linux-2.6-
saparse changes, but Hypervisor don't have the changes.

I think we need to update Hypervisor.
Is this possible?
