Answering 1 of my own questions:
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenTerminology
for the glossary.
Also has anyone looked into a SCI-like (or
SCI) support for sharing memory between HVM’s?

Xen terms? Common recipes?
Reading the following left me longing for a glossary or Xen
terms and acronyms, is their one?
> xc_map_foreign_* functions
all actually take 'gmfn' -- that is the
> guest-apparent machine
address. Paravirtualised guests usually see
> machine
> addresses, so
gmfn==mfn. HVM guests have the translation done for
> them by
> the hypervisor, so they
see gmfn==gpfn (guest pseudophysical frame
> number).
> Function prototypes and
comments in xenctrl.h have unfortuantely
> not been
> updated to reflect this
change.
Additionally, is there a list of “common
recipes” for tasks such as sharing memory with HVM guests? Adding
devices to qemu-dm, or modifications to the rombios?
Thank you,
John
