Forward-ported Xen dom0 kernel patches for Linux 2.6.29 and 2.6.30 available

[Pasi Kärkkäinen]

Hello!

For reference here are the latest Xenlinux 2.6.18 forward-ported patches to
standard/kernel.org Linux 2.6.29 and 2.6.30. Forward-porting has been
done by Novell for OpenSUSE. Novell also has a forward-port to 2.6.27 for SLES11.

See this thread for the latest patches:
http://www.nabble.com/2.6.30-dom0-Xen-patches-td24293721.html

Patches for 2.6.29 and 2.6.30 available here:
http://code.google.com/p/gentoo-xen-kernel/downloads/list

Also available here:
http://x17.eu/xen/

Someone interested in building Xen dom0 capable kernel for F11, based on
these patches? These patches are still more stable and mature than the
pv_ops dom0 code.. Also, these patches have the full Xen feature set 
(pv_ops still lacks some features).

If you have any problems with these patches, please post to xen-devel mailinglist.

I'd like to build a custom xen dom0-capable kernel from the latest 
Planet CCRMA 2.6.29 experimental kernel for F10, which seems to be 
pretty stable at this point; however, I don't know how to modify the 
spec file to include these patches you listed found at: 
http://code.google.com/p/gentoo-xen-kernel/downloads/list

The SRPM for for the Planet CCRMA kernel can be found at:

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks,
William
