Hi, Kevin and Anthony Thank you for your comments.
>For refcount: >- You may want to change PGT_va_shift to 32 like x86-64 since "unsigned >long type_info" is 64bit width on IA64. Or you either can define it as "u32 >type_info" to save space since higher half is not used by your patch. > I thought I wanted to be the same struct page as x86. So I think changing PGT_va_shift to 32 is better since "u32 type_info" cannot be saved space. (because inuse and free are union.) >For domain destroy: >- Also need to free metaphysical rid, which is null by far.

Though it's unlikely to see exhaust of this area (one block >reserved by > far), it's better to change it to a cleaner, more efficient policy. You >may at >least put a call there if delayed with lower priority. > As you said, VHPT and TLB flush may be not necessary, but we use these flush for safe destroy. So Kan made a feature of allocating rid, then we may be able to remove these flush.
