Thanks for the pointers. I agree with Bastian that some of these changes are really quite nasty. Do you and other Xen developers have any plan for how to fix the GART and TTM mapping problems in a cleaner way as Xen dom0 support goes upstream? If there is no such plan then I would rather disable these drivers than make them work temporarily with a hack.
