This patch adds a directory for para-driver support in unmodified linux. The event channel is made to a pci device, the event is delivered by this device. The build script will create the symbol link to linux-sparse tree for all the front end driver. A prinstine kernel path shall be given in compile.sh.


Does this follow 'best practice' for building out of tree linux kernel
modules? Or at least copy the build practice for other common modules?
I think it follows Documents/kbuild/modules.txt
some CFLAGS are come from xenlinux like NOSTDINC_FLAGS

I don't think its really a sparse tree, so we should probably change the
name.
Perhaps 'hve-drivers/linux-2.6'?  (I forget what name we settled on for
the generic VT/Pacifica abstraction, I think it was 'hve'.)
Yes, The sparse just mean to driver/xen/, not linux.
so maybe hvm-drivers/linux-2.6 is better.
