I really would have liked to see a more abstract interface to
communications, such as the one you propose. However, it is not
going to happen for the 3.0 release and that's when the team
promised the interfaces will be frozen. If it can't be compatible
with the existing interfaces, that's going to make it much less
likely that anyone will update the existing drivers and then
maintain two separate interdomain interfaces for each.
I think the project is likely to follow the path of least resistance
and go with a "xenstore connection setup library" that replaces most
of the duplicate code but retain the old datapath API. I get the
impression this decision has been taken already.
Any reason for this to not be shared on xen-devel?
All that's being done is the simplest possible bug fixing and
refactoring to get stable drivers for a 3.0.0 release asap. xenidc is
possibly a suitable alternative for future releases, after we have had
time to look at it, integrate it with all the split drivers, and fix
bug fallout. Given the size and complexity of the patch, I think it
would be very high risk to commit to doing that in the next couple of
weeks.
