[Xen-devel] [RFC PATCH v1] Splitting off stubdom to a different tree

[Wei Liu <wei.liu2@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all

This is a very RFC seris for splitting off stubdom from xen.git.

It's RFC because:

1. There are some open questions -- see individual commits.
2. I haven't tested it, everything should compile though.
3. I'm not entirely sure about the arrangement between toolstack and
   stubdom is correct.
4. COPYING and possible other documents are missing, though I provide
   a README to tell people how to build.
5. All three build systems (xen, mini-os and stubdom) are still quite
   entangled. Making completely clean cut require non-trivial amount
   of effort.

To make every commit bisectable requires quite a bit effort. I don't
think it is worth it. I would rather use a merge commit or squash
everything into a single commit when people are happy with the
changes.

We also need to teach osstest to use the new tree.

Note that I only CC people in this cover letter. Patches will follow
and be threaded to this cover leter.

Wei.
