Re: OS/2 and eComStation

[Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>]

If you can install it under QEMU, you've got a fighting chance of it 
working under Xen.  This would mean that the emulate hardware is compatible.

There's a good chance it won't work out of the box in Xen though.  At 
Mats mentioned, we don't do full instruction decoding so it's possible 
that OS/2 relies on things that we don't do.  This should be pretty easy 
to get going though.  When it hits an instruction it doesn't know about, 
you should get some output on the serial console.  If you decode the 
instruction by hand, you can then implement support for it in Xen.
