This patch adds a new Xen device model target to Qemu, called
target-xen.

A xen specific target is definitely the wrong approach.

I understand the desire to avoid the TCG code. We would like to (optionally) do the same in KVM.

The right way to do this though is to make it possible to build without TCG by wrapping the common interfaces in a function pointer table.


diff --git a/target-xen/exec-dm.c b/target-xen/exec-dm.c
new file mode 100644
index 0000000..3d64695
--- /dev/null
+++ b/target-xen/exec-dm.c

This takes a non-target specific file and makes it target specific. This is not a reasonable approach. What's the issue with the existing exec.c?

Regards,

Anthony Liguori
