Allowing pagetables to point to other pagetables of the same level (often called 'linear pagetables') has been included in Xen since its inception; but recently it has been the source of a number of subtle reference-counting bugs. It is not used by Linux or MiniOS; but it is used by NetBSD and Novell Netware. There are significant numbers of people who are never going to use the feature, along with significant numbers who need the feature.

xen-bugtool =========== The xen-bugtool command line application will collate the Xen dmesg output, details of the hardware configuration of your machine, information about the build of Xen that you are using, plus, if you allow it, various logs. The information collated can either be posted to a Xen Bugzilla bug (this bug must already exist in the system, and you must be a registered user there), or it can be saved as a .tar.bz2 for sending or archiving. The collated logs may contain private information, and if you are at all worried about that, you should not use this tool, or you should explicitly exclude those logs from the archive. xen-bugtool is wholly interactive, so simply run it, and answer the questions.
