Use upstream Linux, not sunxi-devel #13

Linux 3.16-rc7 has everything we need, and possibly some useful fixes too.

Also, a few minor fixes for booting.

jonludlam commented 10 years ago

I got this when running 'make clone'

+ git reset --hard v3.16-rc7
fatal: ambiguous argument 'v3.16-rc7': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.

fixed by cd linux; git checkout v3.16-rc7

talex5 commented 10 years ago

I'll probably change this to use a branch soon anyway, as I'm currently testing some patches to fix the shared pages problem, so we can just wait a few days for that.

talex5 commented 10 years ago

OK, updated with the fixes now.

Are these going to go into a xen 4.4.x point release branch? Otherwise I wonder if it's worth just switching this to a git snapshot of xen 4.5dev

talex5 commented 10 years ago

They backported it to 4.4 when I asked, so I assume they're planning to release it. They have to do something about it anyway. 4.5 works, but it means we need a 4.5 toolstack, which would mean moving away from the Ubuntu-provided packages.

We could setup a xen unstable PPA, except that it wont work on ARM. However @jonludlam and @euanh have been looking at how to setup ARM PPAs on SUSE Open Build...
