Seems like a misunderstanding - I was asking about "Cross Hypervisor Compatibility".

Thanks, Jan

Well, I was hoping blktap2 would be in for 3.4, in which case we'd have VHD
support. A common image format like that is at least a start. Unfortunately
blktap2 has missed the window.

There is also the viridian interface support added since 3.3.

I guess this means VT-d.. PV domU PCI pass-through was already supported earlier? 

Some other features:

- Netchannel2 ?
- pv_ops dom0 kernel support (bzImage format boot support, sysfs memory ballooning)

I forgot to add:

* Populate-on-demand, to allow HVM VMs to boot "ballooned".
