Thanks, vCPUs still return through b0. There is no change in the Linux code. In PV mode, b0 is set by Xen and points to an hypercall which stop the vcpu. This hypercall is not available in VTi (only basic Xen hypercalls, PAL and SAL are available). Therefore I have copied this feature in SAL. The VTi SAL has to correctly set b0 and has to do the return. We don't need to change Linux (of course) you simply need a GFW which handle this feature.
