Unfortunately, this has to happen much earlier than when we parse user supplied device tree options. We could make it an hypervisor command line parameter but it would be nasty. Given that this feature is aimed at partitioning scenarios where the number of VMs is low, the increased memory overhead is not a big issue. (If you recall we briefly discussed this topic at the last Linaro Connect, this was the conclusion.) _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org https://lists.xenproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xen-devel
