(Tim Deegan, > Andres Lagar-Cavilla et al) > * sharing patches posted The hypervisor interface changes for sharing and events have gone in; there's a libxc-level change (to do with mlock()ing buffers) that ought to go in before 4.2, if at all. There's a paging+waitqueues patch that's been posted but needs a bit more work still; I'll try and look at it on Thursday. Tim.
