Comment 15 for bug 705562

As mentioned before, the Hardy code is quite different to upstream. Even more as both the xen kernels we build as custom-binaries as well as the package provided by the server-team are not build from the code as it is in the git tree, but from code that has additional patches applied (for our xen kernels those would be in the git tree under debian/binary-custom.d/xen/patchset/...). And that modifies the code in a way that the files that seem to be xen related in the unmodified tree are actually not used at all.

So after a bit of rework, I came up with the following patch which seems to make the interrupt handling use an edge triggered model and the resulting kernels would boot as dom0 and domU. I am not really sure this is already enough to solve the problems but then the whole code is old enough that some issues may have been introduced later and it is. So I would appreciate if someone would be able to try and tell me how that compares to the old kernel.

I have kernel packages prepared (http://people.canonical.com/~smb/lp705562/). If there is something missing, please let me know. Oh, as I took the kernel version currently in proposed as a base, I added some lrm and lum packages. Those are basically what currently is in proposed. I have made no changes there.
