Re: [9fans] xen3 and pae problems

[erik quanstrom <quanstro@coraid.com>]

i've looked at it.

what do you mean by PAE support?  what would plan 9 need to
do to play nicely with xen3?

pae is already recognized by plan 9, but the default memory types are not
fiddled and you can't map a region with a specific pae type.

these changes are not too hard, but i haven't gotten to a place yet
where i need to implement anything but it may be that setting up
wc pci space will be necessiary for good performance with some 
pcie drivers.
