Looks like you had responded to v11 00/13 without naming specific
patches the tag would apply to, so I think Daniel legitimately applied
it to the entire series. Whether he should have dropped it again
after your report of things not working is kind of fuzzy, unless at
some point you've explicitly withdrawn them (which I don't recall
you having done).

FWIW, I can't find where I offered my R-b for this patch. Its part of
the series I've said fails on my hardware.

[Xen-devel] [PATCH v12 06/10] x86: change default load address from 1 MiB to 2 MiB

2017-01-19 Thread Daniel Kiper 
Subsequent patches introducing relocatable early boot code play with
page tables using 2 MiB huge pages. If load address is not aligned at
2 MiB then code touching such page tables must have special cases for
start and end of Xen image memory region. So, let's make life easier
and move default load address from 1 MiB to 2 MiB. This way page table
code will be nice and easy. Hence, there is a chance that it will be
less error prone too... :-)))

Additionally, drop first 2 MiB mapping from Xen image mapping.
It is no longer needed.
