[Xen-devel] [RFC QEMU PATCH v2 00/10] Implement vNVDIMM for Xen HVM guest

[Haozhong Zhang <haozhong.zhang@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is the QEMU patch of v2 RFC patch series to enable vNVDIMM
support for Xen HVM guest. v1 can be found at
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-10/msg01678.html.

The corresponding Xen patch series is sent in another thread
"[RFC XEN PATCH v2 00/15] Add vNVDIMM support to HVM domains".

All patch series can be found at
  Xen:  https://github.com/hzzhan9/xen.git nvdimm-rfc-v2
  Qemu: https://github.com/hzzhan9/qemu.git xen-nvdimm-rfc-v2


Patch 1 is to avoid dereferencing the NULL pointer to non-existing
label data, as the Xen side support for labels is not implemented yet.

Patch 2 - 7 build and cooy NFIT from QEMU to Xen guest, when QEMU is
used as the Xen device model.

Patch 8 & 9 add a memory backend dedicated for Xen usage and a hotplug
memory region for Xen guest, in order to make the existing nvdimm
device plugging path work on Xen.

Patch 10 extends the the existing qmp command "query-memory-device" to
return information of NVDIMM devices required by Xen.
