So here is a fresh version of the xen support for qemu patch series. Short overview (individual patches have longer descriptions):Could you explain how to use it. Do you need a xend and xenstored running on the host ?Depends ;) Long term plan is to have three ways of supporting xen guests in qemu (pv only for now):
One idea I had for full virtualization in a Xen environment would be an PV vmenter/vmexit framework - either by implementing a completely new abstraction or simple traps for privileged operations like VMRUN.
That way we could have a kvm that talks to xen for the VM, rendering kvm useful on Xen dom0s, giving people the best of both worlds.
That was only one of the ideas that came up while talking to people why running kvm on xen isn't as easy as just recompiling :-). Would you think of such a thing as useful?
