Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] PoD: Handle operations properly when domain is d

I understand that from your (developer's) point of view
but 99% or more of your customers won't know what a p2m
table is or what populating it means and will assume
(as I did earlier), since this is a memory-related
feature, that "populate" refers to utilizing RAM.
Since almost all the code referring to PoD is in a place that only a
devloper should look (in the hypervisor, and a little bit in the hvm
domain builder), I think the naming (at least internally) is
appropriate. One could imagine "shadow memory" being mis-interpreted in
a similar fashion. :-)
PoD is only one piece of the puzzle required to allow booting
pre-ballooned. If you feel like we need a name "marketing name" for the
whole feature to put in annoucements and changelogs, feel free to
suggest one. :-)
In XenServer, the whole thing will come under the umbrella of "Dynamic
Memory Control".
I guess that makes sense in the Windows world where "distros"
can be counted on one or two hands.
My guess is that Linux as a whole will have much less variance than
Windows. But we're not testing HVM Linux ATM.
