Xen article for the FreeBSD Journal

[Roger Pau Monné <roger.pau@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I've been asked to write a Xen article for the FreeBSD Journal [0], a
free FreeBSD magazine published by the FreeBSD Foundation.

The request was something about Xen for an upcoming virtualization
focused issue, but it could can be a status report, new features on
Xen, or even a tutorial about how to use Xen on FreeBSD.

I've decided to do an article about the Xen architecture, specific
features that make Xen different from other hypervisors, plus some
FreeBSD background about how Xen support is implemented in FreeBSD.

I feel like I'm missing a bit more ARM content to balance the x86
stuff, but sadly I'm not sure what's worth highlighting there, so any
recommendations are welcome.

I'm attaching an early draft for the article to this email in plain
text.  Note the diagrams will be re-done for them to match the style
of the publication, and are currently hand drawings since I didn't
want to waste time on something that will be redone anyway by the
layout editor.

I've been told the article should be submitted by the middle of
November, I'm a bit short on time.  I would like to give them
something on Monday so they also have time to provide feedback.

Thanks, Roger.
