====== Stefan Hajnoczi: GDB Remote Debugging ======

===== Week 11 =====

**Milestones:**
  * [b44] Tested and clean for mainline review.

==== Fri 8 Aug ====
Ouch, lowest productivity this week.  I am visiting my family and have spent time with friends, swimming, studying for the theory driving test, and organizing for the end of student life and the start of work in October :-).

After chatting with Marty today I am focusing again.  Discussing Etherboot inspires me to get back to coding!

Next steps:
  * [e820] Try inverting the hidden regions list to an "allowed" regions list.  Do e820 mangling as the intersection between e820 regions and the "allowed" regions.
  * [DMA] DMA pool API so drivers can reserve DMA buffers on ''open()''.
  * [b44] Cleanup, testing, performance.
  * [shutdown] Remove gPXE allocated memory and free up PXE+UNDI, if necessary.
  * [bzImage] Expand the heap size to the full 64K segment when loading a bzImage kernel with version 2.02 or higher.
  * [GDB] Real-mode remote debugging.
