kaf24@firebug.cl.cam.ac.uk 98506e40b1 On x86, Xen does not claim any serial port unless the user
explicitly specifies a 'com1=' or 'com2=' configuration
string. This prevents users from being surprised when Xen
stops domain0 from accessing serial port registers.

On ia64 we still allow serial ports to get automatically
configured and locked down even if no 'com1' is specified
on the command line. This maintains the default preferred
by the IA64 developers.

Also, the method for specifying 'use existing baud rate'
has changed. Instead of specifying com1=0, you must now
specify e.g., com1=auto

Add a manual 'sync_console' boot parameter that forces synchronous
console output. May be useful for systems that crash unexpectedly

By default do not enable local APIC if disabled by the BIOS. This
matches Linux behaviour and ought to improve stability on buggy
hardware/firmware (laptops in particular). As in Linux, you can
forcibly enable the APIC with 'lapic' command-line option, or
forcibly ignore it with 'nolapic'.

Remove generic 'fast trap' from the Xen public interfaces. Internally
within Xen, we automatically set up direct trap for int 0x80, which is
the only 'fast trap' vector that we ever supported anyway.

Change the Xen command-line parameter syntax. 'noacpi' and 
'ignorebiostables' are gone. 'dom0_mem' can optionally take a k/m/g
suffix to specify units (default units are still kilobytes).

Also added:
 1. 'mem=xxx' to specify maximum physical RAM address (supports
     k/m/g suffix)
 2. acpi=xxx/acpi_skip_timer_override/noapic: These all have same
    semantics as in Linux. They are *automatically* propagated to
    the domain0 command line, as dom0 shares resposibility for
    platform initialisation.
