I believe there is a better way of doing this that I had enumerated in the thread (see "xen: remove unused Kconfig parameter"). That was to remove the CONFIG_XEN_PRIVILIGED and XEN_CONFIG_DOM0 and instead have an CONFIG_XEN_HARDWARE_DOMAIN and CONFIG_XEN_CONTROL_DOMAIN which reflect the reality a lot better. P.S. That idea had been percolating a bit - and it started way back with Andrew Jones proposing an Kconfig patch a year ago - see: http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2012-01/msg00500.html for some backstory. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
