Depends ;) Long term plan is to have three ways of supporting xen guests in qemu (pv only for now): #1: Xen emulation (aka xenner). No code for this is submitted (yet). That will allow running xen kernels in qemu. No xend, no xenstored needed. Also no Xen hypervisor. #2: Make qemu attach to an existing domain. That is the way qemu-dm (xenified qemu version) works right now: xend creates the domain, and qemu attaches to it to provide console and framebuffer backend. Obviously needs both xend and xenstored. #3: Make qemu create xen domains. xenstored is still needed then. You can run without xend though. #2 works with the first 4 patches applied. #3 works with all patches applied. #1 needs more patches which are bitrotting in my git repo right now. I'll dig them out once this patchset is merged. cheers, Gerd _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
