Greetings First, I want to say thank for this interesting project, which in resulting an invaluable source to me to get a better understanding of virtualization in Linux.
After reading the criticisms from Ingo about the impact of including paravirt_ops in the kernel (http://lwn.net/Articles/225884/) and also the disadvantages pointed in this article (http://ols.108.redhat.com/2007/Reprints/nakajima-Reprint.pdf) from the Linux Symposium, it seams to me that the whole problem comes from the lack of a HAL in the Linux kernel that concentrates all the hardware related code so that we have a single point of change. My two questions here are: is paravirt_ops an initial step towards this end? and if so, do you think this is a direction the Linux kernel should take? Thanks for your kind answers ;-) Pablo _______________________________________________ Lguest mailing list [email protected] https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/lguest
