10 I knocked this patch up about a week ago. It applies against xen-sources
11 2.6.16.29 kernel (although it'll probably work with 2.6.16.31 too). I've
12 been using it for almost a week in both dom0 and domU and it appears to
13 work well. The PaX/GRSec part is based on a non-release patch for a
14 2.6.16.18 kernel that was in grsecurity.net/~spender a few months ago.

16 Just apply the patch after emerging xen-sources. I was planning on
17 making a special ebuild for it when the xen 3.0.3 ebuilds hit the tree.

19 Let me know how it goes.
