Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] Handle PoD case in hvm_hap_nested_page_fault()
User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/12.23.0.091001
I checked in a different version as c/s 20763: take a look. It's
questionable whether returning 0 from the function is ever a sensible thing.
I suppose at least this way we have to have considered all cases properly.
At least I think we won't change it during the 4.0.0 freeze.
