The patch titled Xen-paravirt: remove ctor for pgd cache has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is xen-paravirt-remove-ctor-for-pgd-cache.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Xen-paravirt: remove ctor for pgd cache From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@xxxxxxxx> Remove the ctor for the pgd cache. There's no point in having the cache machinery do this via an indirect call when all pgd are freed in the one place anyway.
