Subject: [Patch V2 09/15] xen: check for kernel memory conflicting with memory layout
Date: Thu,  9 Apr 2015 08:55:36 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1428562542-28488-10-git-send-email-jgross@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1428562542-28488-1-git-send-email-jgross@suse.com>

Checks whether the pre-allocated memory of the loaded kernel is in
conflict with the target memory map. If this is the case, just panic
instead of run into problems later, as there is nothing we can do
to repair this situation.
