[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#368496: xen-utils-3.0: Include support for HVM-based guests

[Nate Carlson]

Package: xen-utils-3.0
Severity: wishlist


Please include support for HVM-based guests. This allows hardware
virtualization on systems with Intel's chips with VT (IE, Pentium D
930), and AMD's future chips with Pacifica. HVM allows you to run
unmodified operating systems under Xen, such as Windows XP/2003.

The following files are needed:

/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm
/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm.debug
/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader
/etc/xen/qemu-ifup

It may be best to split this into a separate package (SuSe calls it
'xen-utils-ioemu'), as they require SDL libraries and such.
