Unfortunately, this is horrible timing for me, as starting tomorrow, I'm going to be offline for a week and a half or so in podunk Louisiana with essentially no net access. I can integrate my code into your tree and test on PPC as soon as I return to the real world.

Yeah, I think that's OK. The important thing at this point is to determine whether the two patch sets are aligned or conflicting. It sounds like they're largely aligned, and so generating a delta from my patches to match your needs will be relatively straightforward.

I'm trying to line all this Xen stuff up for this merge window, so I'd prefer to revisit it in the next dev cycle. Did you want to get something into this merge window?

I was originally hoping to get something into this merge window, but the timing just isn't working out for me. The rest of the support is already in the kernel for ppc (actually, most everything is in 2.6.28), and swiotlb is the last bit I need to get this working. Ah well.... I'll hop to work on this from the ppc point of view as soon as I get back online, and we'll see where that takes us.


Hm, yes, they're really very similar patch sets. We can definitely turn this into something that will work for both.
