I don't know enough about the specific issues you raise below to comment. But Ingo wasn't bringing up those issues: he was disagreeing with the whole idea of including dom0 Linux as a key component of the Xen system. If the Xen project were to start over from scratch, we might make a lot of different decisions; but running Linux as the hypervisor (as KVM does) or forking Linux (as Ingo seemed to suggest) are not among them. -George -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
