Subject: [PATCH 3/7] More generic paravirtualization entry point.
Date: Sat, 28 Oct 2006 00:00:03 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061029024605.950760000@sous-sol.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20061029024504.760769000@sous-sol.org

[-- Attachment #1: 011-paravirt-head.S.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3420 bytes --]

1) Each hypervisor writes a probe function to detect whether we are
   running under that hypervisor.  paravirt_probe() registers this
   function.

2) If vmlinux is booted with ring != 0, we call all the probe
   functions (with registers except %esp intact) in link order: the
   winner will not return.
