RE: [Xen-ia64-devel] Time for hybrid virtualization?

Hi,

>Running dom0 on VT mode is feasible, we have proved this.
>There should be no explicit performance degradation for dom0.
>While moving dom0 to Vt mode may need great effort, but it is worthwise,
>It reduces the effort to maintain xenolinux,
>It's painful, Redhat has complained it.
Interesting, especially reducing the effort for the maintainance.
For the performance, we still have some tasks(NUMA, VTd...)
But reducing the maintainance efforts is great.
Is the reason that VT-dom0 can use the same privilegde operation
as native kernel? We maintain just PV driver and some firmware codes?

Best Regards,

Akio Takebe
