Just a note to let you know we've got domU booting with paravirt_ops
XenoLinux.  There's still some minor cleanups to do:

- soft watchdog firing
- inconsistent device probing
- console on tty1

Then onto smp support, and removing the rest of the limitations
of the current patchset.

thanks,
-chris

Congrats!  ¡Mucho dolce vitale!

Should we just allow paravirt to disable soft watchdog?  It really 
doesn't make a lot of sense for paravirt - it should be the hypervisor's 
responsibility, and it can break easily across discontinuous time jumps.

Sorry, I meant soft lockup detection.
