Subject: [RFC PATCH 01/35] Add XEN config options and disable unsupported config options.
Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2006 22:30:41 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060322063741.437954000@sorel.sous-sol.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20060322063040.960068000@sorel.sous-sol.org>

[-- Attachment #1: 00-config-xen --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4210 bytes --]

The XEN config option is selected from the i386 subarch menu by
choosing the X86_XEN "Xen-compatible" subarch.

The XEN_SHADOW_MODE option defines the memory virtualization mode for
the kernel -- with it enabled, the kernel expects the hypervisor to
perform translation between pseudo-physical and machine addresses on
its behalf.

The disabled config options are:
- DOUBLEFAULT: are trapped by Xen and not virtualized
- HZ: defaults to 100 in Xen VMs
- Power management: not supported in unprivileged VMs
- SMP: not supported in this set of patches
- X86_{UP,LOCAL,IO}_APIC: not supported in unprivileged VMs
