Re: [Xen-devel] Xen 4.0 Feature Set

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxxxx>]

- support for a larger number of virtual CPUs per guest in the
  hypervisor (tools and pv-ops kernel are lagging afaict)
- support for a larger number of interrupt sources (i.e. big machines)
- support for bigger (potentially sparse) memory configurations

*         High Availability (Project Remus & Kemari)

o   Up to date replica of a VM on backup server

*         Netchannel2

o   Lazy copy in guest

o   Support multi-queue NIC, Smart NIC, SR-IOV

*         Page Sharing

o   VMs share identical pages in memory

*         Libxenlight

o   High level operations shared across all Xen toolstacks

*         Support for Virtualization-aware Applications
