Re: [win-pv-devel] v9.0.0 released

["Durrant, Paul" <pdurrant@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Can someone post a log of the qemu output (with xen_platform_log in the events 
file) so we can see what the PV drivers are doing?

I generally do most of my testing against the latest Xen (i.e. 4.13). 4.8 
should be fine though; the main differences from a Windoows PoV would be in the 
viridian enlightenment code, but that's orthogonal to the PV driver interfaces.

I've trimmed out the cruft from the config I normally used and attached it. (I 
also normally boot Xen with a grant frame limit of 128, i.e. 4x the default).
