Hi

Does Xen (well, dom-U xenified kernel) detect when a dom-U is spinning in idle loop?

In other words is Xen scheduling able to tell whether a dom-U is really busy?

I thought it might be useful to have a low-priority 'background' dom-U that scavenged CPU-time when the other dom-U's were idle.

Regards
Roland
