Hello!

I have only managed to get Xen 4.5's Remus "working" on Linux Kernels less than 
3.5. The provided remus-drbd, as detailed in docs/README.remus and available 
from https://github.com/rshriram/remus-drbd will not compile with Linux Kernels 
3.6 and above.

One of these errors is that remus-drbd uses a two argument version of the macro 
kunmap_atomic found in include/linux/highmem.h
This was deprecated and is no longer included in any Kernels above 3.6.

"error: macro "kunmap_atomic" passed 2 arguments, but takes just 1"

Is there a patch available?  If not, what set up do the Remus devs use to test? 
 I just need a "stable-ish" platform to modify remus on.


Now I did get Remus "working" on Linux 3.4, Ubuntu 14.04, and the custom 
remus-drbd.  The issue I run into is that Remus only plugs and unplugs a few 
hundred times until there is a "Connection timeout error."  It could be that I 
am using an "old" linux kernel version without much Xen integration, but I'm 
stumped about this error:
