Most paravirtual devices use atomic operations (or even just raw memory accesses and memory barriers), which don't need any special infrastructure. This effectively makes them message-passing protocols rather than shared memory protocol. I can't see offhand why sharing data structures would bring a great improvement, but maybe I'm tied to the old way of thinking. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
