-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi,
The "8.4.3pre-shim-comet" branch on xenbits.xen.org/xen.git contains a backport of PVH to Xen 4.8 (and comet shim as the top 3-4 patches). In practice this is mostly about libxl changes (type="pvh" instead of device_model_version="none"), but there are also few fixes for other code, like ACPI tables builder. Those do fix some existing minor bugs. For example wrongly advertised i8042 controller, causing ~1s delay on Linux boot. It seems like the type="pvh" is what Xen is going to support and device_model_version="none" is abandoned in new versions. This means that it may be harder to backport further PVH-related patches, and also upstream our patches to Xen. There is not much changes on libxl side, but still. This also means that our libvirt patch in its current shape will be rejected, and we'll need to maintain it separately. Changing this that late in the release cycle may not be a good idea, but changing it later, or having to maintain duplicated set of patches and having additional difficulty with backporting other patches may also be a pain. Simon, can you take a look at this? What do you think about this? And if you think it worth changing it now, please create appropriate pull requests. - -- Best Regards, Marek Marczykowski-Górecki Invisible Things Lab A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
