Hello,

Can someone tell me what the status of 64-bit paravirtualization support is in 
the vanilla Linux tree?  It seems that 2.6.24 only has 32-bit PV support.  And 
it seems that 2.6.25 will be getting 64-bit PV support.  Will it be complete? 
Some lkml posts seem to suggest that not all hypercalls are supported for 64-bit?

On a related note: is it possible to compile the PV network/block drivers for a 
HVM Linux guest with the newest kernels?  Compilation failed and a previous 
message on the list says that you can't do that.  The reason I'd want to do this 
is to let me run a 64-bit recent Linux kernel with PV drivers.

Thanks,
Mike
