Hello,

  As we all know, when running Xen on Intel VT-X/AMD SVM, the drivers
uses currently
QEMU for network and storage (and not the virtualized ,
frontend/backend drivers Xen mechansim).
This may be changed in the future as I understand.

My question is regarding Infiniband in this context: I saw that there is a
mercurial repository for Infiniband for Xen. This repository  works,
as I understand,
with ordinary processors (by ordinary  I mean Intel/AMD processors
without  virtualization extensions).
My question is : will this tree , as it is ,  also work with the new
processors  with the virtualization extensions
(VT-X/AMD SVM)  ? or will it also need a solution like QEMU for
net/storage drivers?

Did anyone has any experience with this Xen Infiniband repository with
VT-X or AMD SVM?
Regards,
MR
