I prefer the one that re-uses the existing logic. That has been - both in the hypervisor and in the Linux kernel for PVH - the path - just do nice little one-offs that do something simpler and easier than the old PV path. That way one can easily spot how PV vs PVH works for certain operations. It also from a testing coverage perspective means we end up using the same codepath for both PV and PVH - so we do get more testing exposure for different modes. > > thanks > mukesh > -- 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/
