    We didn't get much feedback from take 2, so hopefully we're
    converging on something that's acceptable. The only major
    difference between this set and the previous is the way we handle
    the /dev/mem changes. I think the new approach is rather cleaner.

    To get a working arch xen system you'll need the following set of
    patches:

     1. add ptep_establish_new to make va available
     2. return code for arch_free_page
     3. runtime disable of VT console
     4. HAS_ARCH_DEV_MEM enables Xen to use own /dev/mem definition
     5. split free_irq into teardown_irq
     6. alloc_skb_from_cache (already accepted by Dave Miller)
     7. bug fix: handle frag'ed skbs in icmp_filter (already accepted by Dave Miller)

    The actual new architecture, arch xen, is too big to post to the list,
    so here's a link:
     8. http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/netos/xen/downloads/arch-xen.patch

    Likewise for the virtual block, network, and console drivers:
     9. http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/netos/xen/downloads/drivers-xen.patch

    Arch xen will be maintained by myself, Keir Fraser, Christian Limpach
    and Steve Hand.

    Cheers,
    Ian
