Re: [Xen-devel] xen intro q
Hi!

Hello everyone,
I'm taking a quick look at the xen internals, and it looks as though xen
creates a layer that runs directly on the hardware, and this layer is
basically a stripped down and modified linux i386.
This would mean any fixes for linux and new hardware support need to be
explicitly ported to xen. Are there plans to instead have a xen
enabling patch for the linux kernel? This should make it much easier to
maintain xen over time.
A Linux-with-Xen-hardware-abstraction-built-in would be nice because xen
would get 10.000.000 new users overnight (eheheh well, at least 100
times more than current users). But this would be a "fat-xen".
Xen developers want a "very-slim-xen" that can become the
next-generation-BIOS.
Fat-xen and slim-xen both have pros/cons... That's a very long discussion :)
(I don't even know if it's possible to make this fat-xen...)
