A git branch is available here (not ready for submission):

git://xenbits.xen.org/people/sstabellini/linux-pvhvm.git arm

the branch above is based on git://linux-arm.org/linux-2.6.git arm-lpae,
even though guests don't really need lpae support to run on Xen.

Indeed, you don't really need LPAE. What you may need though is
generic timers support for A15, it would allow less Hypervisor traps.
For up-to-date architecture patches (well, development tree, not
guaranteed to be stable), I would recommend this (they get into
mainline at some point):

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/cmarinas/linux-arm-arch.git;a=summary

Either use master or just cherry-pick the branches that you are interested in.

Hi Catalin,

Which branches are required for the Versatile Express with the
Cortex-A15? I merged linux-arm-arch/arm-arch/vexpress in but I get a
instruction fault immediately after branching to __mmap_switched.

Is it not setting up the MMU correctly?
