Hi all, driver domains
Looked at the gntdev (grant table mappings for user space) driver, noticed that one is not self-contained. It needs a hook for page unmapping: http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.1-testing.hg?rev/7180d2e61f92 plus an s/ptep_get_and_clear_full/zap_pte/ fixup a few changesets later. Upstreaming that one could become *uhm* intresting. Nevertheless the gntdev functionality is quite useful for writing pure userspace backend drivers ... cheers, Gerd
