Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] Software Plugin Interface in Xen hypervisor
Hi Gianni,
              I don't want to emulate devices instead I just want to create a 
mechanism by modifying Xen hypervisor such that I can plug in any software 
prototype of an architecture. So basically this mechanism will be a software 
plug in interface, something like how VTPM is provided in Xen. 
              I hope this helps you to understand my question.
              Thanks,

Regards,
Satyajeet

Not sure what you mean by hardware architectures exactly. You mean you
want to emulate devices? In this case, the place to do that would be
qemu. In xen HVM domains, qemu is responsible for emulating all devices.

Hope that helps.

Gianni
