Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/8]: PVH : PV guest in HVM container
Date: Wed, 15 Aug 2012 17:52:24 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120815175224.36457451@mantra.us.oracle.com> (raw)

Hi,

	Following are series of patches for PVH linux changes. xen
	patches will follow later.

        A PVH is a PV guest that runs in an HVM container. Its only available
        for x86_64 only. It runs in ring 0 (the kernel), has native page tables,
        native IDT, and requires HAP. It uses lot of HVM code paths. Both in
        the guest and xen, the guest is viewed as pv guest,  and is_hvm()
        would return false. It uses event channels thereby eliminating APIC
        emulation code paths in xen.

        This series of patches implment this feature. They were built on
        top of fc6bdb59a501740b28ed3b616641a22c8dc5dd31 from the following
        tree: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git


Thanks,
Mukesh
