Below is a summary of the projects / features being worked on for the
4.5 time frame that I had been gathering.
* Don Slutz Prognosis: 100 %
Bigger PCI hole in QEMU
Re-write of HPET
An additional new feature:
VMware backdoor (hypercall)
Hi Don, I'm not familiar with this feature but it intrigues me. Can you
provide a very short description of what it is?
Support a sub-set of possible commands via port 0x5658 including VMware
RPC channels that allow VMware tools to run in the Guest.
This also allows requesting a clean shutdown (and reboot) of the Guest
if VMware tools is running.
Is this for the VMWare backdoor port at I/O address 0x5658?
Yes.
Is the scenario, VMWare running in a Xen guest VM?
If you mean VMware tools, then yes.

Thanks,
Kelly
