[Xen-devel] Hypervisor architecture?

[Etienne Martineau <etmartin@xxxxxxxxx>]

Is there any documents around that describe the 'internal' architecture
of the Hypervisor?

So far my understanding is such that the Hypervisor is a 'strip-down'
Linux 2.6.(12/13) + lot's of customization specific to Xen. 

Because there is so much documentation around for the Linux kernel I
think it would be _nice_ to have a 'conceptual mapping' between the
Hypervisor and the Linux kernel....

For example:
-Under Linux, processes are described by 'struct task_struct'
-Under Hypervisor, VMs are described by 'struct domain'

What is common?
What is different?

For those who are already familiar with the Linux kernel there would be
a net advantage when trying to 'pickup' on how things are done within
the hypervisor
