Thanks Keir for the fast response!

To implement the PV-on-HVM, have you used a PCI probing in the hypervisor?
I don't get how you left the HVM operating system unmodified? Is it a FE/BE model? Does the HVM uses the "old" dom0 FEs?

Thanks again,
Eric.

1. Is it possible to share contiguous memory regions between a hvm domain and dom0 using the grant tables?
2. Why do we need the piix bridge in the ioemu? is it being used at all?

  1. Yes. The PV-on-HVM drivers do this (from HVM to dom0). Other way (dom0 pages mapped in HVM) will not work as yet.
  2. It's used for PCI-ISA IRQ routing. I wondered about removing it but I think I've changed my mind for the time being. If you boot an HVM guest in APIC mode, it will not have the '4 IRQ routers' limitation.
