Hi Anthony,

I've also received a very similar patch from Stanley Wang of intel (I've
CC'd him on this email).  Is yours just a later version of Stanley's?
ISTR that Stanley thought his patch needed a fair amount of cleaning up,
and to be honest, I haven't looked very closely at it yet.  Does the
patch provide what you need for Xen then?  It looks like it simply adds
a "module" directive to the conf file, and a "-m" command line
parameter.

I've also CC'd Dan Magenheimer, as I know he's involved in Xen as well,
and may have some input on the "is this what you need" front :)  -- oh,
and I've attached Anthony's patch to this email, so everyone has it.
