It is not our focus at the moment; we are targeting operating systems

Hi all,
I wanted to know how Xen-ARM for A15 will address following concerns:
- How will Xen-ARM for A15 support legacy guest environment like ARMv5 or
ARMv6 ?
- What if my Cortex-A15 board does not have a GIC with virtualization
support ?
Best Regards,
Anup Patel

Hi all,
a few weeks ago I (and a few others) started hacking on a
proof-of-concept hypervisor port to Cortex-A15 which uses and requires
ARMv7 virtualization extensions. The intention of this work was to find
out how to best support ARM v7+ on Xen. See
