You can certainly use http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=people/royger/freebsd.git;a=commit;h=e6b5f404ea805de4070a9ad501be8e91a722f05b in order to see the specific diffs for each modified file, this way you can only look at changes in common files and skip most of the Xen specific changes. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (Darwin) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJSnMofAAoJEKXZdqUyumTAzjUH/3fDf9TDgBbKJoOlgPGWhTc3 GDY9Vw2oRzfB7IAyNKGXesE5PPkl4S2A/VVxN/So9Jw1PdGwK/iUGNQIyR5jI5YW BOclDB42huRoHRPYXH/pDrdHpOKrudJg9GeXldT0Q+EXThDMKgTGuAekqdtSN6dS F8YtXMokMrIBkklCzTBsJLAhA8nAZ+CozLuIgHUelkY5XX8Zw7RhrAZNZWy6WZP5 nGgVL6eeJ1mQ6l8JLSwEAvo6mx7ka7HVLmx4IQ1Plm6nx17WLIUdJi9NI6tW7s5v LAD6BH+iPCxDOK6qDCVmSHAZ6RJmI+ksasqIRx4pAe02l806qAUsoXjyzymgn6Y= =ovkV -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

The patch is large, and I definitely do not have desire to look at the Xen-specific parts. Is it possible to split the patch into changes for common code, and the rest ? If not, could you provide only the chunks related to the common code anyway, so that I read what needed to read, and do not miss some part ? pgpvCrDaTCEqd.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: FreeBSD PVH guest support
Hello, I've yet updated the PVH work one more time, regarding some comments from emaste in order to try to make this work easier to merge with the UEFI changes. In this regard, the parse_memmap hook now fetches and parses the memmap, so UEFI can define it's own hook and do the fetching and parsing there. As usual, the patch can be found on my git tree: git://xenbits.xen.org/people/royger/freebsd.git pvh_v6 Or http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=people/royger/freebsd.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/pvh_v6 I would really like to get this committed sooner rather than later, mainly because I plan to start working on Dom0 soon, and having to carry another patch on top of this is going to be quite hard.

Re: FreeBSD PVH guest support
Hello, I've updated the branch one more time in order to cope with the recent HEAD changes regarding SMAP parsing, as usual the branch can be found at: http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=people/royger/freebsd.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/pvh_v5 Also, I've created a wiki page that describes how to set up a FreeBSD PVH guest: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/FreeBSD_PVH In case anyone wants to give it a try :) Thanks. ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
