My thought here is a simple priority list with move-to-back of the frontmost domain when we deliver him the interrupt but he does not deassert the line either in reasonable time or by the time he EOIs the interrupt. This is simple generic logic needing no PV guest changes. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
