Xen devel - Nov 2007 - Looking for information about dom0 split in domB and domD

Hi,

I am looking for information about the dom0 split into drivers mgt domain and 
drivers mgt domains. I know this feature has been discussed at the Xen 
summit, but I did not find any valuable info about it.

Basically the questions I have are:
- Who are the contacts about this feature?
- Is there any documentation available?
- What is the impact on Xen codebase?
- Is there a plan to submit some code?
- Is there a proof of concept already working?

The idea is to evaluate the feature and implement it, especially on Xen ARM.

Thanks for any piece of info.

Regards,
Jean

Which bit(s) of it are you interested in specifically? Splitting out device
drivers? Splitting out domain-building functionality? Other?

Derek Murray, who presented at the summit, did a lot of the work so far.
It''s intended to try and get some of that code merged in due course.

I am intestested in any information. We are starting the Linux dom0 porting on 
ARM, so I think it is the best time now to figure out the impact of the 
feature.

Does the split in domD and domB consist of adapting the build environment to 
generate 2 dom0''s, one with drivers and the other with domain build?
Could it
be that simple or did I miss something?

All right, thanks for the contact. Is Derek Murray on this list?
