There has been very little progress on the Dom0 pv_ops work of late
Oh, I thought from reading some of the Xen Summit slides that xen3.3 would mean pv_ops becoming the default for dom0 as well as domU.
it's getting harder to imagine it being in shape for Fedora 10
Gulp, that tightens the noose on those of us with fedora 8 dom0 machines.
I would expect our DomU kernel to continue tracking the bare-metal kernel versions - so, yeah, 2.6.27 probably.
Jeremy Fitzhardinge sounds fairly confident of having much of x86_64 DomU ready for the 2.6.27 merge window. If that happens, our patch set would be quite small and I'd imagine we'd enable CONFIG_XEN in the bare-metal kernel and drop the kernel-xen package.
Some potential good news then, thanks for the info.
