The patch titled Vmi: native fix has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is paravirt-vmi-backend-for-paravirt-ops-native-fix.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Vmi: native fix From: Zachary Amsden <zach@xxxxxxxxxx> In paravirt builds with VMI compiled in, vmi_bringup is called unconditionally, not via a paravirt-ops table (as no other hypervisor uses the APIC startup technique). Make the calls to setup VMI state conditional on the presence of the VMI ROM.
