Subject: [patch] paravirt: clarify VMI description
From: Ingo Molnar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
clarify the description of the CONFIG_VMI option: describe the reality
that VMI is a VMWare-only interface for now. Once that changes and
another hypervisor adopts the VMI ABI we can change the text. As it can
be seen from the Xen paravirtualization patches submitted to lkml the
Xen project has chosen its own, non-VMI interface between Xen and the
para-Linux - so remove Xen from the description.
