Hi list, 

I've read about recent efforts to push pv-on-hvm drivers to Linux mainline 
and I'm curious to know the cause for this. What's the advantage over using 
pv_ops directly and booting the kernel paravirtualized?
Are there plans to move Linux domUs closer to the KVM way (from an 
architectural point of view)?

Hope you can help. 

Regards,
Markus
