Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] unnecessary removal of guest console characters

[Keir Fraser <keir.fraser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The 'application' in this case is the kernel. The data in this case is
console logs and possibly output from an interactive login. Responsiveness
of the former is critical, even, I would say, if that's at the expense of
integrity of the latter.
