<p>Xen is a native (bare-metal) hypervisor providing services that
allow multiple computer operating systems to execute on the same
computer hardware concurrently. Xen&nbsp;4.4 will bring a
virtualization mode called PVH &mdash; PV (paravirtualization)
in an HVM (fully-virtual) container. This is essentially a
paravirtualized guest using paravirtualized drivers for boot and
I/O. Otherwise it uses hardware virtualization extensions,
without the need for emulation.</p>
<p>After merging the changes in order to improve Xen PVHVM
support, work has shifted on getting PVH DomU support on &os;.
Patches have been posted, and after a couple of rounds of review
the series looks almost ready for merging into <tt>head</tt>.
Also, very initial patches for &os; PVH Dom0 support has been
posted. So far the posted series only focus on getting &os;
booting as Dom0 and being able to interact with the
hardware.</p>

Logic Corporation.</p>
