Hi Maks, I've just got back from a brief spell away without email/net, I'll take a look at the below properly once I get back on top of things.

There's a (quite longscary) queue of patches which add 64bit domU in the tip tree[0]. I worry a bit that they touch a fair bit of generic code which might make it impractical to backport into the main non-Xen packages but they could be dropped into the -xen flavours. In any case I don't think they've quite settled down yet (I don't believe it is in -next yet for example). I'd prefer to take those ones to the fedora-pvops tree if possible. > could you take a look at #488284 Will do. > > also according to http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps > Queued for 2.6.27: > * Save/restore/migration > > what's there name and that be probably the less hanging fruit? Those changesets can be found in the x86/xen branch of the tip tree[1] and look a lot more tractable than the 64 bit stuff. They seem to be mostly self contained in the Xen code. Cheers Ian.
