[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH RFC v2 13/13] libxl: New event generation API
I've not looked at this yet but CCing a few potential users of this
interface. I've trimmed it to just the public header changes for their
benefit, I'm sure they can find the full thing in the archive if they
are interested in the gorey details.
