One idea I had for full virtualization in a Xen environment would be an PV vmenter/vmexit framework - either by implementing a completely new abstraction or simple traps for privileged operations like VMRUN.

That way we could have a kvm that talks to xen for the VM, rendering kvm useful on Xen dom0s, giving people the best of both worlds.

That was only one of the ideas that came up while talking to people why running kvm on xen isn't as easy as just recompiling :-). Would you think of such a thing as useful?



Why would anyone want to do that? If you've got Xen running, just start up a Xen guest.

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
signature is too narrow to contain.
