IMO we should whitelist the features just as we now do for HVM guests. We already have that code; although we probably cannot easily share it with the PV code, it probably only needs copying-and-tweaking. > A question I came across while doing this - why is is_pv_32bit_vcpu() > not simply defined to constant 1 on 32-bits? Because it is occasionally applied to HVM guests. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
