The tool stack side change that Jürgen has just sent will only address the smoke test side of the resulting fallout. Unless steps get taken to continue to build Xen with PV32=y in osstest (despite the changed default), I expect many (all?) of the test-amd64-i386-* to then fail when doing a full flight, as otherwise a 32-bit Dom0 then also won't be usable anymore. Of course I think I recall the question having got raised in the past whether the 32-bit Dom0 testing shouldn't be dropped at some point. Yet even then I suppose some 32-bit DomU testing would still want keeping, which still would require a PV32=y hypervisor. I guess we want to postpone backporting until that is sorted. Jan
