Ping? Ingo? I don't see this in -tip...
Thanks,
Rusty.
Subject: x86: initialize initial_page_table before paravirt jumps
v2.6.36-rc8-54-gb40827f (x86-32, mm: Add an initial page table for
core bootstrapping) made x86 boot using initial_page_table and broke
lguest.
For 2.6.37 we simply cut & paste the initialization code into lguest
(da32dac10126 "lguest: populate initial_page_table"), now we fix it
properly by doing that initialization before the paravirt jump.
