Subject: [PATCH 1/7] cleanup: paravirt unhandled fallthrough
Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2007 14:32:00 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1171251120.10409.2.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
The current code simply calls "start_kernel" directly if we're under a
hypervisor and no paravirt_ops backend wants us, because paravirt.c
registers that as a backend.
This was always a vain hope; start_kernel won't get far without setup.
It's also impossible for paravirt_ops backends which don't sit in the
arch/i386/kernel directory: they can't link before paravirt.o anyway.
Keep it simple: if we pass all the registered paravirt probes, BUG().
