Ah, well here lies the issue. As per hpa subarch was not designed for defining a hypervisor, but rather at least subarch PC (0) [should be used if the hardware is] "enumerable using standard PC mechanisms (PCI, ACPI) and doesn't need a special boot flow". Does that follow the definition of HVMlite?
Yes. HVMlite is going to use baremetal boot flow.
OK great. That still means the code will run, and if we can avoid that why not. I am fine with annotating this as future work to help. Let me then ask as well, how about the rest of the code during and after startup_32() and startup_64() -- are we sure that's all safe ?
I can't be sure, all I can say is that so far I haven't seen any problems. -boris _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
