Re: [Xen-devel] Re: [Xen-changelog] Indirect hypercalls through a hypercall transfer page.

Allows a different hypercall implementation on platforms where that makes sense. For example, we would like to run XenLinux on native by running it over a small 'Xen shim' that provides the Xen API but no protection or multiplexing. In that case it would be most efficient to turn syscall instructions into jumps.
Is someone working on this?

I had been thinking of something like this myself. A pretty straight-forward kernel module that could allow you to run XenLinux on native (so we could have our own "player").
