[opensuse-arm] Factory configs update
Hi, I will update and re-enable the ARM kernel configs for Factory but I would like to confirm that LPAE is / should be a -default kernel, with LPAE support and KVM enabled. Am I right?

I think LPAE is only available on cortex-A15 and cortex-A7 (and armv8). So, we may also remove boards with cortex-A8, cortex-A9 and only keep cortex-A15, cortex-A7 boards? But it should not hurt if we keep them. The idea is to rebase -lpae on -default to only have a LPAE/KVM diffrence between lpae and default flavours. Alex, Dirk, what do you think about that?

Would it be possible to have Xen fully enabled on the LPAE/KVM kernel too? I believe the missing option is XEN_COMPAT_XENFS. Thanks, Andy

I think you already sent a patch for this one, no? CONFIG_XEN_COMPAT_XENFS help in kernel says: ******************************************************************************** The old xenstore userspace tools expect to find "xenbus" under /proc/xen, but "xenbus" is now found at the root of the xenfs filesystem. Selecting this causes the kernel to create the compatibility mount point /proc/xen if it is running on a xen platform. ******************************************************************************** So, it should affect only old tools. No? 13.1 -lpae kernel has it. Not sure why Factory does not have it. Guillaume
Thanks, Andy
