That way I don't have to change s/xc_evtchn_/xc_evtchn./ all over the
place. Also xenner can easily be disabled at compile time and the
indirect function pointer calls simply go away then.
I don't think the last bit is worthwhile. Function pointers these days
are pretty fast, their cost will be dwarfed by the syscall and hypercall
overhead.
- --disable-xen) xen="no"
+ --disable-xen) xen="no"; xenner="no"
It would be nice to be able to build without the original Xen libraries.
Hmm. I'll at least need the xen header files (at build time) anyway.
Making xen and xenner independent config options and don't link the xen
libraries for the !xen case should work without too much hassle (have to
make the function pointers mandatory then though).

Curious, can there be any domain other than the guest and the fake dom0
you're emulating?
No. It is the case for the current xenner implementation. The event
channels are handled by a daemon then and the guests can talk to each
other. This code is derived from the daemon. When moving xenner into
qemu the event channels allow only host <=> guest communication, so that
can probably simplified a bit. Not sure that would save that much code
though. I'll have a look.
cheers,
Gerd
