Why is a performance critical path on a paravirt kernel even using I/O instructions and not paravirtual device drivers ? It clearly makes sense to virtualise I/O operations if you are doing that (so you can do posting, triggers and predicted reply handling guest side to keep the trap rate sane) but I don't see why this situation occurs in the first place for paravirt. _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list [email protected] https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
