[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 2/6] libxl: do not add a vkb backend to hvm guests

[Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When QEMU restricts its xenstore connection, it cannot provide PV
backends. A separate QEMU instance is required to provide PV backends in
userspace, such as qdisk. With two separate instances, it is not
possible to take advantage of vkb for mouse and keyboard, as the QEMU
that emulates the graphic card (the device model), would be separate
from the QEMU running the vkb backend (PV QEMU).
