Is it possible to fake ACPI table in PV domain too?
I'm going to use it as a scheduler hint. So, I need it to work in domUs (both PV and HVM domains).
Is it possible to create a frontend driver which provides this feature in domUs?

Thanks

If domU means PV domain in your mail, there's even no ACPI table exposed
to PV domain. HVM domain has one faked by Qemu. Also the value to expose
a virtual cpufreq feature is still unclear. Some papers discuss usage as
scheduler hint or help real power, but none gets into real product yet.
 
Thanks
Kevin

Subject: [Xen-users] cpu frequency scaling in domUs

Hi,

I've recently installed xen-3.2.1 on my AMD Sempron(tm) machine.
It runs gentoo 2.6.21 as dom0 and cpu frequency scaling works in dom0.
But inside a domU, cpu frequency scaling is not working.
By checking the boot log in domU I found that domU is unable to load the powernow driver:
"powernow-k8: BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects"
I wonder if it is possible to have cpu frequency scaling support inside domUs?
