RE: [Xen-devel] Glossary of Xen terms? Common recipes?

["Zulauf, John" <john.zulauf@xxxxxxxxx>]

Answering 1 of my own questions:

 

http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenTerminology  for the glossary.

 

Also has anyone looked into a SCI-like (or SCI) support for sharing memory between HVM’s?

Subject: [Xen-devel] Glossary of Xen terms? Common recipes?

 

Reading the following left me longing for a glossary or Xen terms and acronyms, is their one?

 

> xc_map_foreign_* functions all actually take 'gmfn' -- that is the

Additionally, is there a list of “common recipes” for tasks such as sharing memory with HVM guests?  Adding devices to qemu-dm, or modifications to the rombios?

 

 

Thank you,

 

John
