Hi Roger,

I've added the following bullet point ahead of the
dom0less/hyperlaunch one:

  * Deterministic interrupt latency: significant efforts have been put into Xen
    to ensure interrupt latency remains both low and deterministic, even in the
    presence of cache pressure caused by noisy neighbors.  There's a patch
    series currently in review that adds cache coloring support to Xen.

An additional point worth mentioning (in the context of real time) is that Xen is being ported on Arm-v8R MPU (memory protection unit) based system. This is quite significant change in Xen's architecture as it has always been supported on MMU based systems. With MPU, there is flat mapping between VA and PA and thus, one can achieve real time effect as there is no translation involved. There is a limited number of memory protection regions that can be created by Xen to ensure memory type and access restrictions on different regions.

This is a work in progress.
