<body>
<p>Add FreeBSD kernel support for Xen Paravirtualised kernels.
This project has finally reached a "Proof of Concept" stage
on the branch
<a href="http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/projects/amd64_xen_pv/">
projects/amd64_xen_pv</a></p>
<p>Testing and bug reports on various configurations is
encouraged! The author is also seeking bounties to help
complete the effort and assess potential interest. Please
send email if interested.</p>
<p>PV kernels are still supported by most cloud providers for a
range of configurations, although they are expected to be
phased out in the future.</p>
