Hi, I've been having some discussions about embedded hypervisors, and
one of the issues that has come up is latency for device access. This is
particularly a problem for real-time applications...
I've collected some thoughts at http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki/DirectIo
(please correct it if I've misstated anything). I think we should flesh
out some of the pros/cons of the possible solutions at the bottom. For
starters, have the virtual IO ideas proposed so far considered
applications that are about control, not data? For example, I'm thinking
about control of a giant laser: is that block, or net? :)
