RE: Réf. : RE: [Xen-ia64-devel] Focus on non-VTI?
I responded with a clarification to Fred on this
off-list...
I am fully supportive of VTI and agree that both VTI and
non-VTI need to
be supported in all development. I was only referring
to a focus for
the next few weeks until Xen 3.0 is released. For
example, if there
were some major merging required for VTI that might cause
instability,
I would recommend delaying that until post-3.0. We
would like to
have real Xen/ia64 users (not just developers) and
many/most will
not have access to VTI until Montecito is broadly
available in OEM
servers.
P.S. Jean-Paul, for some reason all of your email is cc'ed
to xen-ia64-devel-bounces,
which gets bounced to the list administrator (me). Is
this address
in your alias for xen-ia64-devel?
I am supporting what Fred is
saying.
Xen-VTI is important as it
will allow to run unmodified operating systems.
We need to have in mind both VTI and non-VTI modes in
every new development.
Jean-Paul

Dan,
VTI is live and healthy.
Members in this community are eager to build
product base on Xen/VTI,
members want to make sure they have Xen ready
for their products.
This is how the community contribute into this
effort.
We
should revisit Xen/ia64 current implementation to make sure the
community
members can benefit from it, example as VHPT for SMP support
and PMT for
grant table described in the other
threads.
