I mean I can see how it works, but what is themotivation for it? Allows a different hypercall implementation on platforms where that makes sense. For example, we would like to run XenLinux on native by running it over a small 'Xen shim' that provides the Xen API but no protection or multiplexing. In that case it would be most efficient to turn syscall instructions into jumps. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
