[dpdk-dev] could not l2fwd in DOM0

[Samuel Monderer <SMonderer@advaoptical.com>]

Hi,

First I've encountered a compiling problem when compiling for DOM0 due to prototype change of the function xen_create_contiguous_region
I made the following changes:

                if (xen_create_contiguous_region(mm_data->block_info[i].vir_addr,

                                pfn_to_mfn(mm_data->block_info[i].pfn);

After that I tried to run l2fwd example and got a segmentation fault

Has anyone already encountered this problem?
