Answering 1 of my own questions:
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenTerminology for the glossary.
Also has anyone looked into a SCI-like (or SCI) support for sharing
memory between HVM''s?
John

Subject: [Xen-devel] Glossary of Xen terms? Common recipes?
Reading the following left me longing for a glossary or Xen terms and
acronyms, is their one?
> xc_map_foreign_* functions all actually take ''gmfn'' --
that is the
> guest-apparent machine address. Paravirtualised guests usually see
> machine
> addresses, so gmfn==mfn. HVM guests have the translation done for
> them by
> the hypervisor, so they see gmfn==gpfn (guest pseudophysical frame
> number).
> Function prototypes and comments in xenctrl.h have unfortuantely
> not been
> updated to reflect this change.
Additionally, is there a list of "common recipes" for tasks such as
sharing memory with HVM guests? Adding devices to qemu-dm, or
modifications to the rombios?
Thank you,
John
