Re: [Xen-API] Porting xen-api package on Xen ARM.

[Anil Madhavapeddy <anil@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The best way to start this is by forking xen-api and its dependent libraries 
and just making the changes required for ARM support directly.

When that all works, you can diff vs the x86 XAPI tree and merge in appropriate 
autoconf/cpp defines.  But it's easier to do all that after you get something 
working end-to-end on your target platform in the first place.

OCaml has very good ARM support already for v7/v8, so the bulk of the work is 
probably in the C bindings.
