Hi all,
I'm interested in developing live migration in xen arm and possibly 
the contribution to the community and I hope this patch series could be a start.

For this matter, I have following questions:

(1) Is it OK to keep using the keyword "hvm"? Or, is it better to use pvh?

(2) After some overview of source code, I think the required parts
   for save/restore are the following:
      - xen-store info
      - shared info page
      - memory contents (no need for p2m table)
      - cpu/vcpu 
      - gic/vgic
      - drivers
   I think there are still important parts that I'm missing.
   I appreciate if you could give some advice :)

(3) Regarding split drivers, come to think of it, we have to store 
   both side (front/back) states, in-flight event channels, IRQs, etc.
   And those look like quite a work (although evtchn is migrated within vcpu)
   I appreciate  if you guys could share any hints from the experience of 
   migrating split drivers in x86.

Lastly I would like to note that the following patch series is just the 
concept work for reviewing my idea and they are quite preliminary.


Jaeyong Yoo (4):
  Create new directory for stroing hvm-related files in ARM.
  Implement arch_hvm_save and arch_hvm_load functions
  Implement save and restore for gic (template impl)
  Implement XEN_DOMCTL_gethvmcontext part of arch_do_domctl

Sure, of course.
