[Xen-devel] [PATCH 0/4] CPU hotplug port from qemu-traditionnal to qemu-xen for 4.3.

[Anthony PERARD <anthony.perard@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

This series ports few patches from qemu-xen-traditionnal to qemu-xen
(upstream). There is as little modification as possible on those patches so
they *can not* be upstream as is. So this is only for 4.3. A proper series will
be done for 4.4.

There make possible to have CPU hotplug on qemu-xen.

A patch for libxl will follow, which make use of the old command line
-vcpu_avail with qemu-xen. This command line will probably not be upstream.

BUG: There is an issue with SeaBIOS (used with qemu-xen). At SMP
initialisation, SeaBIOS will count the number of CPU running, and the number is
always equal to maxvcpu when SeaBIOS expect less. This happen when we have
something like:
vcpus = 2
maxvcpus = 8
in the VM config file. Linux is fine with this and will use only $vcpus.  So
the probleme is: an infinit loop in SeaBIOS.
