Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/3] libxl: upstream Qemu as PV backend for IOEMU stubdom
Date: Sun, 25 Jun 2017 23:15:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1498428931-465-1-git-send-email-watermansrdev@gmail.com> (raw)
This patch adds support for choosing upstream QEMU as the PV QEMU
backend for an IOEMU stubdom instead of qemu-xen-traditional.
The motivation is to expose QEMU features only available in upstream
like VNC auth options.
It adds a new xl.cfg file parameter named device_model_pv_version taking
the same values as device_model_version. I made the choice configurable
as upstream QEMU requires more RAM than qemu-xen-traditional.
This patch was prompted by guidance from Ian when my SASL patch to
qemu-xen-trad was deemed too complicated.
