Andres really owns this code, so I'll punt to him for an official
answer, but:
- It's been listed as a 'tech preview' on the feature list since it
went
in. http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Release_Features says:
"Preview, due to limited tools support. Hypervisor side in good
shape."
- I can't say anything about SuSE's apparent support for it, except
that ISTR Olaf worked at/for/with SuSE at the time.
- Patches would, of course, be welcome.
Tim.
