While not impossible, I would find it surprising if e.g. OpenBSD had netfront but not even a basic blkfront. > +Guest-side driver capable of speaking the Xen PV networking protocol > + > +### PV Framebuffer (frontend) > + > + Status, Linux (xen-fbfront): Supported > + > +Guest-side driver capable of speaking the Xen PV Framebuffer protocol > + > +### PV Console (frontend) > + > + Status, Linux (hvc_xen): Supported > + Status, Windows: Supported > + Status, FreeBSD: Supported, Security support external > + Status, NetBSD: Supported, Security support external > + > +Guest-side driver capable of speaking the Xen PV console protocol > + > +### PV keyboard (frontend) > + > + Status, Linux (xen-kbdfront): Supported > + Status, Windows: Supported > + > +Guest-side driver capable of speaking the Xen PV keyboard protocol Are these three active/usable in guests regardless of whether the guest is being run PV, PVH, or HVM?
