The patch titled
Xen-paravirt: add XEN config options and disable unsupported config options
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
xen-paravirt-add-xen-config-options-and-disable-unsupported-config-options.patch
This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Xen-paravirt: add XEN config options and disable unsupported config options
From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@xxxxxxxx>
The XEN config option enables the Xen paravirt_ops interface, which is
installed when the kernel finds itself running under Xen. (By some as-yet
fully defined mechanism, implemented in a future patch.)
Xen is no longer a sub-architecture, so the X86_XEN subarch config option has
gone.
The disabled config options are:
- PREEMPT: Xen doesn't support it
- HZ: set to 100Hz for now, to cut down on VCPU context switch rate.
This will be adapted to use tickless later.
- kexec: not yet supported
