[Xen-devel] TESTDAY report 4.11rc6

[pierre-philipp braun <pbraun@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello!  Here is a success report for 4.11.0 rc6.  Better late than never, right?

## Hardware

- modern Lenovo V520-15IKL Desktop (i5-7400: 4 cores)
- old monster IBM 3850 M2 (x4 Xeon X7350: 16 cores)

I wish I had some Opterons available.

## Software (resp.)

- Devuan/ascii and Linux 4.17.0.slackxen
- Slackware64/14.2 and Linux 4.4.88.slackxen

Runs without Grub and without libvirt.

## Guest operating systems

- PV/ NetBSD 7.1 (XEN3_DOMU.201703111743Z)
- PV/ NetBSD 7.1.2 (XEN3_DOMU.201803151611Z)
- PV/ Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Linux 4.4.0-21-generic
- HVM/ Devuan GNU/Linux 2.0 (ascii) and Linux 4.9.0-6-amd64

## Functionality tested

- PV & HVM/ xl create, shu, des
- HVM/ altp2m with LibVMI and Drakvuf (on the modern hardware only)
- blktap2 as `tap:tapdisk:aio` and `tap:qcow2`

## Comments

It feels great, as usual.  I am glad the `cr` alias for creating a guest is 
back.

I did not do any stress tests nor benchmarks.  This is just a basic report 
saying that nothing went wrong.  

Congratulations for the good and hard work.
