Hi, Anyone has this working? Looks like there is a chicken-and-egg issue with pda setup: * xen_load_gdt() uses multicalls, thus depends on cpu-specific variables (per-cpu mc buffer) which in turn requires pda being setup already. * pda setup can't be done before xen_load_gdt() ... Next question while looking at xen_load_gdt(): why does it use multicalls in the first place?

Unlike full virtualization in which the virtual machine provides the same platform interface as running natively on the hardware, paravirtualization requires modification to the guest operating system to work with the platform interface provided by the hypervisor. Xen was designed with performance in mind. Calls to the hypervisor are minimized, batched if necessary, and non-critical codepaths
