From 808fdb71936c41d46245f0e3aa6ec889cba70d97 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Juergen Gross Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2015 06:51:30 +0200 Subject: xen: check for kernel memory conflicting with memory layout Checks whether the pre-allocated memory of the loaded kernel is in conflict with the target memory map. If this is the case, just panic instead of run into problems later, as there is nothing we can do to repair this situation.
