Subject: [PATCH 1/3] xen: pvhvm: allow user to request no emulated device unplug
Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2010 09:14:10 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1282292052-13037-1-git-send-email-ian.campbell@citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1282292035.3170.5238.camel@zakaz.uk.xensource.com>
this allows the user to disable pvhvm and revert to emulated devices
in case of a system misconfiguration (e.g. initramfs with only
emulated drivers in it).
