Pkg xen devel - May 2006 - Bug#368496: xen-utils-3.0: Include support for HVM-based guests

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.

-- System Information:
Debian Release: testing/unstable
  APT prefers unstable
  APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500,
'stable'), (1, 'experimental')
Architecture: i386 (i686)
Shell:  /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-rc4-knight-1
Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968)

The attached patch adds this functionality in a separate package.

+Description: XEN administrative tools: IOEMU
+ The userspace tools to manage a system virtualized through the XEN virtual
+ machine monitor.
+ .
+ This package includes the utilities required to support HVM domains, which
+ allows full virtualization of unmodified operating systems, such as 
+ Microsoft's Windows product line, and standard Linux kernels.
+ .
+ For this to work, you will need a CPU with hardware virtualization support,
+ such as Intel's CPU's with VT, or AMD's CPU's with Pacifica.
