I would note, however, that it's just the domU(?), meaning you can build |
| 27 |
Linux as a guest kernel. The dom0 stuff, however, which is required to |
| 28 |
build a hypervisor, is *not* in mainline. Your link states that in a |
| 29 |
comment, but I wanted to explicitly point it out. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
To quote kernelnewbies: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
"Xen |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Part of Xen has been merged. The support included in 2.6.23 will allow |
| 36 |
the kernel to boot in a paravirtualized environment under the Xen |
| 37 |
hypervisor. But support for the hypervisor is not included - this is |
| 38 |
only guest support, no dom0, no suspend/resume, no ballooning. It's |
| 39 |
based in the paravirt_ops infrastructure." |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
I don't want anybody disappointed from the realization when they get to |
| 42 |
the kernel configuration with 2.6.23 ;). |
