[Xen-users] XenLinux and hypervisor compatibility (XEN_COMPAT_xxx)
I took the latest Linux kernel tarball from xen.org and wondering about HV compatibility: - if I choose to enable compatibility with an older hypervisor (atm, 3.0.2, 3.0.4 or 3.1.0) will I loose any functionality/performance/ whatever when running that kernel on a newer one (say, 3.3.x or 3.4.x)? - what does "no compatibility code (XEN_COMPAT_LATEST_ONLY)" actually mean? will this kernel run only on 3.4.1? or >=3.4.0? or 3.2.x / 3.3.x onwards? it would probably be good to include the answers in the kernel config "help strings"....
