[Xen-devel] [PATCH RFC V2 0/7] COLO-Proxy: Make Xen COLO use userspace colo-proxy

[Zhang Chen <zhangchen.fnst@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Because of some reason, We no longer support COLO kernel proxy.
So we send this patch set to make Xen use userspace colo-proxy in qemu.

Below is a COLO userspace proxy ascii figure:
