This morning I was given the idea of having the possibility to build a
Xen-free kernel but still GENPVH capable.
This doesn't impact GENERIC which is still able to boot both Xen and
GENPVH with the following configuration:
options XENPVHVM
options XEN
hypervisor* at mainbus? # Xen hypervisor
xenbus* at hypervisor? # Xen virtual bus
xencons* at hypervisor? # Xen virtual console
...
Now for GENPVH only we would have a unique kernel configuration
option:
options GENPVH
The only drawback I see is that it adds quite some ifn?def's GENPVH.
Here's the patch: https://imil.net/NetBSD/noxen.patch
Does this look reasonable to you?
