Xen devel - Sep 2009 - Event channel access in Windows

Hello,

On the web I see vague references to Intel having ported netfront and 
blockfront to HVM Windows guests, using a fake PCI device to expose 
event channels and grant tables to Windows kernel drivers. Is that PCI 
device, the ported netfront/blockfront, or both in the open source 
release? If so, where?

Thanks,

Chris

James Harper has been working on GPL''ed PV drivers for Windows.
Googling for "gpl xen pv drivers" pulls up this wiki page:

Presumably James can answer any questions you have regarding the
implementation of netfront / blockfront.
