I agree. I am only saying that all things being equal, we might as well keep compatibility. If nothing else, it will be easier to write docs. The dom0_mem case is an example where things are not equal between x86 and arm, but the parameter still works similarly across the two archs. > I still don't see a reason to override the command line option as usually the > issue will not be because of the command line but the kernel itself.

That would be best. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org https://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
