Thread-topic: VMX status report 11649:b6ee084892da
We have tested the latest xen on VT platform with Intel 915/E8500
chipset. 

Three platforms(32/PAE/32E) test all are based on SMP, It means that we
boot up SMP guest OS in VMX.

Here is the test summary:

Issues:
0).[Block issue]Failed to create 64 bits SMP/UP VMX domains in x86_64
platform, while Windows and ia32 nonpae /pae SMP VMX domains can be
created successfully. see attachment "xm_dmesg and ia32e-smp.JPG" for
details.

1).Create several VMX domains coexist issue seems have been resolved.
But, if under an extreme condition, like when CPUs are busy with huge
workloads(eg. gzip several huge files in background), then try to create
ten domains, more chance to meet this problem.
