Hi Stefano,

what are the particular advantages of running PVonHVM vs. traditional PV (vs pure HVM)?
I'd like to update the wiki with some info about it...



Thanks,
   Christian

Hi all,
this is the fixed, updated and rebased version of the PV on HVM series:
the series is based on 2.6.34 now and supports Xen PV frontends running
in a HVM domain, including netfront, blkfront and the VIRQ_TIMER.

The list of bugs fixed in this update includes: xenbus drivers crashes
when xenbus is not properly initialized, a memory corruption bug in
suspend/resume and testing for the xen platform pci version and protocol
has been moved to enlighten.c (before unplugging emulated devices).

In order to be able to use VIRQ_TIMER and to improve performances you
need a patch to Xen to implement the vector callback mechanism
for event channel delivery.

A git tree is also available here:

git://xenbits.xen.org/people/sstabellini/linux-pvhvm.git

branch name 2.6.34-pvhvm.

Cheers,

Stefano
