Re: [Xen-devel] [RFC PATCH 0/2] XEN booting on i.MX8M platform

Hi,

I have CCed one person from Donerworks. IIRC they have been using the IMX8 in 
the past.

What are the consequences to change the interrupt parent?

I don't think this is enough to claim support for Xen on the I.MX8M platform.
What I don't want to end up is having yet another UART driver to maintain in Xen 
but the platform is still unusable.
You should at least be able to boot multiple domains and use a fully fledge 
distro (yocto, Debian...) from a mass storage (and possibly network).
Cheers,
