[PATCH 1/3] lguest: document 32-bit and PAE requirements

From: Rusty Russell
Date: Wed Apr 15 2009 - 10:40:12 EST



Impact: documentation update

Robert noted that we don't actually document that lguest is 32-bit only,
nor that PAE must be off (CONFIG_PAE is now prompted for if HIGHMEM is
set to "off).
