Hi, Avi Could you help to queue this patch for 2.6.28? It has no any logic
changes, and just re-organizes the structure of vm data area to allow
users to configure large memory and more vcpus. Since it changes many in
header files, so it had better go into rc1. Thanks!

If there are no logic changes, why is it needed to 2.6.28?

Actually the blank line is helpful here.

Are you sure these are unneeded here? For example, if u8 or u32 are referenced in this file, you should keep linux/types.h. A header file should require no other header files to be previously included.

Is this guaranteed to be zero? It doesn't seem like a code cleanup. Best in a separate patch with an explanation why it is safe.

This doesn't seem like a cleanup.

In general the offsetof() changes are very good, but please separate them from the typos and coding style fixes.
