Hi Peter,

Removal of VMI(VMware's para-virtualization technique) is scheduled for
2.6.37, I was wondering what would be the right time frame for
submitting a patch which does that. Does the x86-tip tree have any next
branch where we can park this patch ?

Below is the patch for your reference which just removes VMI specific
bits, applies on top of x86-tip.

There is also an opportunity to remove the alloc_pmd_clone hook from
paravirt side of the things. This interface is only used for VMI, will
send a follow-on patch later on to do that though.

That would be nice.  In the meantime I have queued up your patch.
