Two usages for us currently: 1) debug, for some specific bugs it's very useful, for example, the issue that win2k can't boot are identified by using xentrace. 2) outline some specific guest behavior, for example, how HVM guest are using it's PIC/LAPIC, so that we may find some optimization possibilites. > If it's useful perhaps it should be extended into a generic >HVM mechanism and define some processor-agnostic enumerations >for exit-code reasons and so on. If we could have it, it's really good. But for now, I think it's hard and we still need more experiences. -Xin _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
