Hello,

I just have several questions about device and event channel:
1. From the implementation point of view, are device and event channel the same (i.e. both based on shared memory)?

2. In Xen papers, it is said up to 1024 channels are supported per domain. Does 1024 include both device channel and event channel?

3. Are these device/event channels allocated dynamically or statically for each domain?

4. It seems I need to allocate one device channel per device, is this true?

Thanks,

Liang
