Re: [PATCH] xen: xenguest is not used so is not needed

[ https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11686919/ ]

Ping?  This patch got lost somewhere. Should I try to apply it via trivial tree?

I've more cleanups pending for this area.  Just in case, I verified this patch
it wih xen 4.4 and with current xen, and with current qemu, - no  part of qemu
uses xenguest interface.


Thanks,

Yes, in the qemu-system-i386 binary, it can be linked without -lxenguest.

Just a caveat, -- I know almost nothing about xen, especially xen
internals and its (stable, unversioned and unstable, versioned) libs.
Qemu links fine without libxenguest in the mix with xen 4.11.4, - I
can't say for other versions.  I just thought if it does not include
, why it should link with -lxenguest? :)

I'm not sure what you mean by "no references to -lxenguest", do you mean
in the binary?

Otherwise, thanks for the cleanup!
