Re: [Xen-users] Xen + QEMU Accelerator

I rather doubt that it'll work - it bangs the hardware direcly in a few 
ways that isn't allowed for Xen guests.
The most promising approach would probably be a port of the QVM86 module 
(an open source accelerator for Qemu) but this is unable to accelerate 
kernel-mode code and is therefore limited compared to Fabrice's kqemu.

I'm cc-ing xen-devel in case anybody there has looked at / thought about / 
talked abut this. Any further posters should remove xen-devel if they have 
usage-related queries, since we like to keep that list solely for 
development-related traffic.
Cheers,
