RE: [Xen-devel] Xen suspend

["Neugebauer, Rolf" <rolf.neugebauer@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think anyone has looked into power management and Xen. Xen
doesn't have any special hooks for this at all and some things like APM
might work because dom0 is privileged enough. However, give that even in
Linux power management is still quite messy and unstable with Xen YMMV
even more ;(

With the plan for 2.1 to move more of the platform init code into dom0
there is a chance that Xen will be more compatible with Linux for things
like power management as well.
