Xen is a native (bare-metal) hypervisor providing services that + allow multiple computer operating systems to execute on the same + computer hardware concurrently. Xen 4.4 will bring a + virtualization mode called PVH — PV (paravirtualization) + in an HVM (fully-virtual) container. This is essentially a + paravirtualized guest using paravirtualized drivers for boot and + I/O. Otherwise it uses hardware virtualization extensions, + without the need for emulation.

+ +

After merging the changes in order to improve Xen PVHVM + support, work has shifted on getting PVH DomU support on &os;. + Patches have been posted, and after a couple of rounds of review + the series looks almost ready for merging into head. + Also, very initial patches for &os; PVH Dom0 support has been + posted. So far the posted series only focus on getting &os; + booting as Dom0 and being able to interact with the + hardware.
