30.09.24 14:33, Andrew Cooper:
Options are dependant on HVM option, because pmtimer & stdvga drivers
are part of HVM support code.
At the same time these options are allowed to be de-selected when PV/PVH
enabled, because only PV/PVH domains can be created when stdvga or
pmtimer are disabled
But PV != PVH.
Furthermore, be aware that there's no such thing as PVH in Xen.  It's
toolstack level "branding" for want of a better term.

In Xen, there is PV (ring privileging) and HVM (hardware virt).

PVH is a toolstack level construct which passes a different set of
emulate flags, and doesn't set up qemu (on ioreq server 0) by default.


understood, then I won't complicate configuration by linking it with PV.
Thanks for explanation!
