Hi,
Fedora is my favorite Linux distribution. I have been eagerly anticipating the upcoming release of Fedora 12 but am disappointed to discover that it will not support Xen pv-ops dom0 kernel.
pv_ops dom0 kernel has only recently started working for many/most people, so it was too late for F12 release.
There are still some missing features, most notably missing blktap2 support for tap:aio: file-based images.
But it seems features are ported and bugs are fixed pretty fast now, so let's hope pv_ops dom0 kernel can be included for F13!
It works for me, and for you aswell. So it's getting there..
Also Fedora kernel developers want to have all the main features included in the upstream kernel - they don't want to maintain out-of-the-tree patches.
pv_ops dom0 patches are not yet included in the upstream kernel. Although Jeremy's git tree is tracking upstream pretty closely now.
