[Xen-devel] Questioning the Xen Design of the VMM



Greetings!

The Xen project caught my attention on LKML discussing hypervisors, so I took 
a look at Xen and read the README, where it says:

        This install tree contains source for a Linux 2.6 guest

This immediately turned me off, as I hoped Xen would be a bit more 
transparent, by simply exposing native hw tunneled thru some multiplexed Xen 
patched host-kernel driver.

I maybe missing something, but why should the Xen-design require the guest to 
be patched?


Thanks!
