Re: [Xen-users] stupid question about gplpv

[chris <tknchris@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm pretty sure in newer versions of gplpv they detect the xen pci
bridge and enable the drivers regardless. I've noticed atleast in 10.x
the gplpv drivers will automatically disable the ioemu devices if the
pv drivers are present and xen pci is working. if im wrong it would be
useful to know how exactly it works
