I personally don't have plans to continue Xen development, but I can't
speak for anybody else.

However, some very experimental work has been done for e500 with KVM.
There's been some discussion on kvm-ppc-devel
(http://marc.info/?l=kvm-ppc-devel) .

Can I ask what your interest is? Are you a developer or just looking to
use it? If you had virtualization on e500 today, how would you use it?

Ok thanks. Interest is quite high; we ourselves are exploring
possibilities on how we can leverage this on some of our router
platforms which run NetBSD. Thanks for the pointer I'll dig up the KVM
lists.

-thanks

[Zhang Wei]

We are investigating kvmppc on e500. No patches now yet.

Thanks!
Wei.
