From 23febeddbe67e5160929f7c48f7bfe83c2eecb99 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefano Stabellini Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2011 17:07:27 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] xen/setup: Route halt operations to safe_halt pvop. With this patch, the cpuidle driver does not load and does not issue the mwait operations. Instead the hypervisor is doing them (b/c we call the safe_halt pvops call). This fixes quite a lot of bootup issues wherein the user had to force interrupts for the continuation of the bootup.
