The start info structure that is defined as part of the x86/HVM direct boot
ABI and used for starting Xen PVH guests would be more versatile if it also
included a way to pass information about the memory map to the guest. This
would allow KVM guests to share the same entry point.

I'm fine with this, but we need this change being accepted by the Xen
community first. So an Ack from Jan or Andrew is required as the same
change should be done on Xen side.
And for an ack to be given I continue to demand that a patch be sent against
the Xen tree. That said, the change looks fine to me now (as indicated before).

Yes, I plan to send that out against the Xen tree shortly.

Thanks,
