The patch titled paravirt_ops: Allocate a fixmap slot has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is paravirt_ops-allocate-a-fixmap-slot.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: paravirt_ops: Allocate a fixmap slot From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@xxxxxxxx> Allocate a fixmap slot for use by a paravirt_ops implementation. This is intended for early-boot bootstrap mappings. Once the zones and allocator have been set up, it would be better to use get_vm_area() to allocate some virtual space. Xen uses this to map the hypervisor's shared info page, which doesn't have a pseudo-physical page number, and therefore can't be mapped ordinarily. It is needed early because it contains the vcpu state, including the interrupt mask.
