This patch series implements the Linux Xen guest in terms of the
paravirt-ops interface. The features in implemented this patch series
are:
* domU only
* UP only (most code is SMP-safe, but there's no way to create a new vcpu)
* writable pagetables, with late pinning/early unpinning
(no shadow pagetable support)
* supports both PAE and non-PAE modes
* xen console
* virtual block device (blockfront)
(Netfront needs a bit of updating, and will be in a separate patch later.)
The patch series is in two parts:
1-11: cleanups to the core kernel, either to fix outright problems,
or to add appropriate hooks for Xen
12-20: the Xen guest implementation itself
I've tried to make each patch as self-explanatory as possible. The
series is based on 2.6.20-rc4-mm1.
Thanks,
J
