| Thread-topic: | [Xen-devel] How about removing the xen version info from hvm capsstring |
>> I'd like to change the xen x86 caps to such format: >> xen_caps : xen-3.0-x86_64 hvm-x86_32 hvm-x86_32p >> hvm-x86_64 >> i.e. remove the xen version info from hvm caps string, >> because it makes no sense for HVM guests. >> How about your opinion? > >I can't see any harm in having a version identifier. When we start >adding the option for paravirtual extensions inside hvm guests it will >be useful to have one. > But seems when the paravirtual driver in hvm guests detects the capabilities in xen and backend domain to decide the version of frontend driver to load, the xen version is enough. -Xin _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel |
