Hi!
. . . depends on BROKEN on ia64 . . .
Is mini-problem [, IMHO]
See example of real problem:
changed the Kconfig symbol to CONFIG_HYPERVISOR_GUEST on x86.
And when CONFIG_HYPERVISOR_GUEST not set ( IMHO, not special) , as result
linux-mainline ( non-official, but very usefull) v3.10-rc1 2013-05-12 for Arch Linux
not contain
hv_storvsc.ko.gz
as not contain (
hv_vmbus.ko.gz
hv_utils.ko.gz
hv_netvsc.ko.gz
hv_balloon.ko.gz
)
Arch Linux linux-mainline v3.9 contain all this files
i.e. not only "balloon driver[s]"
{=
