Subject: Cleaning up user confusion about different virt modes in Xen
Date: Thu, 08 May 2014 12:02:04 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <536B642C.2010104@xen.org> (raw)

Folks,

have a look at 
http://brendangregg.com/blog/2014-05-07/what-color-is-your-xen.html ... 
It's a well made case about the confusion our terminology has created in 
user-land. Admittedly, it was a lot worse before we came up with the 
virtualization spectrum. But since then ARM created extra complexity.

The article makes some very good points, and a sensible solution, but 
also throws up new problems. Maybe it is time to clean up the confusion 
in terminology, use it consistently and fix our documentation.

But before we consider this, I wanted put the article up for debate

Best Regards
Lars
