I agree. Should we make a paravirt_ops_asm.S file that can implement these native funcions, and so we can get rid of the C functions only doing asm? > > While some paravirt implementations may have more complicated implementations > i guess it's still a reasonable requirement to make them simple enough > in pure assembler.

I'm sure it should be no problem with other HVs. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list [email protected] https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
