Re: [PATCH v8 06/10] iommu/vt-d: datatypes and functions used for kdump

[Li, ZhenHua]

Hi Baoquan,
Thank you very much for your review. But according to the latest
discussion, the page tables will not be copied from old kernel. We keep
using the old page tables before driver is loaded. So there are many
changes in next version;

See my comments.

This function is no longer used. So forget the parameters.

Yes you are right. Though the variable domain_values_list will not be
used in next version, I think I need to check if there are any other
similar problems.
