Subject: [patch 14/24] Xen-paravirt_ops: Add XEN config options
Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2007 12:53:08 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070221205323.527382671@goop.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20070221205254.169835700@goop.org

[-- Attachment #1: xen-config.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1454 bytes --]

The XEN config option enables the Xen paravirt_ops interface, which is
installed when the kernel finds itself running under Xen.

Xen is no longer a sub-architecture, so the X86_XEN subarch config
option has gone.

Xen is currently incompatible with:
- PREEMPT
- HZ: set to 100Hz for now, to cut down on VCPU context switch rate.
  This will be adapted to use tickless later.
