HI:
 
     As I go through the code with log, I noticed that  the log: 
(XEN) grant_table.c:266:d0 Bad flags (0) or dom (0). (expected dom 0)
 
is from xen/common/grant_table.c:266, which is in function _set_status_v1()
so it looks like kernel 2.6.32 use grant table version 1.
 
While in 2.6.31. driver/xen/grant-table.c, I noticed function gnttab_request_version()
which looks like 2.6.31 require grant version 2. But this function cannot be found 
in 2.6.32.
 
Is this correct?
 
Thanks.
