Updated patch, incorporating feedback. Besides formatting, changes how apic is reported - and that's not pretty. As danpb found out, in cset 12423:ebed72718263 in xen-unstable, setting the apic was removed from tools/libxc/xc_hvm_build.c. In a surprising turn of events, cset 12569:9d6bc06919e0 claims to reintroduce apic toggling (with a default of 1/on) by writing it into an hvm_info_table in tools/python/xen/lowlevel/xc/xc.c - I haven't figured out why the apic can't be toggled in rawhide, though. For now, the code uses the hypervisor version to determine what apic capability to report - most likely not the right thing to do, better suggestions much appreciated. David
