Perhaps a more formal request to contributors of features that are currently lacking in pvops about how they see the transition of there contribution to pvops kernel ? So there can be made some sort of overview of the intentions, and perhaps an estimation if it will be in time for 4.0, so it can be documented ? >> Haven't seen a reaction from Stephen yet if there is a >> hypervisor/dom0-kernel-xen-related boot options document available as start >> for a new wiki. >> > I made this yesterday: > http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenHypervisorBootOptions > Now we just need to fill in the actual content :) Wanna help? > -- Pasi Yes i want to help, i was just waiting for Stephen to react if there is or is not a document to start from :-) This is one thing i can contribute with i think :-) -- Sander >> >> -- >> Sander >> >> >> Thursday, January 28, 2010, 9:29:36 AM, you wrote: >> >> > On Thu, Jan 28, 2010 at 09:26:23AM +0100, Sander Eikelenboom wrote: >> >> Hello Pasi, >> >> >> >> PV-USB is not yet in the default pvops kernel that is going to ship with >> >> 4.0 or am i mistaken ? >> >> Will it before 4.0 comes out ? >> >> >> >> > True, it's only in Xen and in linux-2.6.18-xen. >> >> >> This could deliver some confusion, if the hypervisor supports things it's >> >> default dom0 kernel doesn't yet. >> >> >> >> > Yep.
