It turns out that this code was previously dead.
c/s dcf41790 " x86/mmcfg/drhd: Move acpi_mmcfg_init() call before calling
acpi_parse_dmar()" resulted in PCI segment 0 now having been initialised
enough for acpi_parse_one_drhd() to not take the
/* Skip checking if segment is not accessible yet. */
path unconditionally. However, some systems have DMAR tables which list
devices which are disabled by user choice (in particular, Dell PowerEdge R740
with I/O AT DMA disabled), and turning off all IOMMU functionality in this
case is entirely unhelpful behaviour.
Leave the warning which identifies the problematic devices, but drop the
remaining logic. This leaves the system in better overall state, and working
in the same way that it did in previous releases.

Remus provides fault tolerance for virtual machines by sending continuous checkpoints to a backup, which will activate if the target VM fails. See the website at http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Remus for details. Using Remus with libxl on Xen 4.5 and higher: To enable network buffering, you need libnl 3.2.8 or higher along with the development headers and command line utilities. If your distro does not have the appropriate libnl3 version, you can find the latest source tarball of libnl3 at http://www.carisma.slowglass.com/~tgr/libnl/ Disk replication: VMs protected by Remus need to use DRBD based disk backends. Specifically, you need a compile and install a custom version of DRBD, that is available publicly at https://github.com/rshriram/remus-drbd This code is based on DRBD 8.3.11 and uses a new replication protocol (named protocol D) for asynchronous disk checkpoint replication. A protected VM's DRBD disks on the primary and backup hosts need to be configured to use protocol D as the replication protocol. An example resource configuration file can be found in the aforementioned github repository.
