As the original poster asked before I would want to know the same thing, i.e. if Xensource or some other company is planning to port Xen to MIPS. Though I am probably not in a position to contribute much to Xen development (I would like to but I feel I have a lot to learn first) I have ported Slackware to the Loongson 2E processor and Debian and Gentoo run on it as well. For the moment this is on the Lemote Fu Long desktop computer containing a single processor at 700 MHz, but the next version (Loongson 2F), due in a few months, will be running at 1 to 1.2 GHz. Loongson 3, due late 2008, will be a huge step up containing 16 cores, so very server-worthy. These processors will be used in systems from e.g. Dawning for server, workstation and supercomputer applications. Aside from this very promising MIPS implementation there are nowadays processors from Cavium Networks and Raza Microelectronics that also contain many cores at 1 GHz speeds and they are contained in systems from e.g. Movidis. From this perspective a Xen MIPS port would absolutely be very welcome, since it is or has become an architecture that is just as useful and powerful as x86, Power, Sparc and IA64. I also briefly spoke with Anil Madhavapeddy at Linuxworld NL in October 2006 on the multi-platform nature of Xen so it shouldn''t be that hard to do. I might have to dive in and start to understand the Xen architecture myself but I''d prefer that someone more knowledgeable started an effort.
