Hi
 
 1.  How to help customers migrate from Xen PV images, to using KVM (with PV support) ?

 2.  Would appreciate any suggestions on making PV support easily available to users. Something we can do to work around, requirements of kernel version > 2.6.25, making virt_io drivers available. Are there pre-built kernels needed/available somewhere ?
 
     From recent posts it seems that direction is not to use PV for memory.. does this mean that now one can use any kernel and needs virt_io drivers ? Can some one help explain the state and direction in this area.

Thanks
