Re: [Xen-API] OS X DomU Driver Porting

[Alan Forbes <aforbes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Pasi,
You may be absolutely correct on that one... but do remember that most Linux 
DomUs are PV, not HVMs.

The windows drivers stand as a good guide or reference for building these 
things, if anyone is up to the challenge..?

Cheers,
Alan
