In this case we extend the semantics of get/setvcpucontext to say that you pass a pointer to a vcpu_context structure corresponding to the execution mode of the subject. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel |
