[Xen-devel] Re: sysenter/syscall support for 32-on-64 guests?

Since int80 cannot be directly passed to the guest (as in 32-on-32), it
seemed reasonable to cut on the overhead of syscalls by at least
allowing this (and syscall could also be made work now that the vdso
stuff is unified in 2.6.25) - for obvious reasons it still goes through the
hypervisor, but gets there faster
I guess that's a reasonable point. But it does mean that you'd need to
separately validate a 32-bit guest on both a 32 and 64-bit hypervisor,
which is a bit painful. Maybe you'd need to do that anyway... (Or
ignore 32-bit hosts.)
