Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH][PVFB][TOOLS] Update xmdomain.cfg.pod.5

[Mark Williamson <mark.williamson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Are there any plans to unify configuration for the vfb and the HVM virtual 
display?  They both have a similar set of options, so it would be nice if 
they could be tied together at the UI level.

Moreover, unifying the config options would make it somewhat straightforward 
to tweak the system to allow booting a domain in either HVM or paravirt 
mode - which would be cool (imagine a user of an HVM domain "upgrading" to 
PV, or a PV domain user who needed full platform emulation for some testing).

Cheers,
Mark
