[v4,0/2] Introducing Hyperlaunch capability design (formerly: DomB mode of dom0less)

Message

Christopher Clark May 14, 2021, 3:40 a.m. UTC

We are submitting for inclusion in the Xen documentation:

- the Hyperlaunch design document, and
- the Hyperlaunch device tree design document

to describe a new method for launching the Xen hypervisor.

The Hyperlaunch feature builds upon prior dom0less work,
to bring a flexible and security-minded means to launch a
variety of VM configurations as part of the startup of Xen.

We would like to have these design documents merged, please.
We have responded to all of the feedback provided in previous rounds
and no further comments have been received on these since they were
posted in May.

thanks,

Christopher

As settled on during the community call yesterday I've committed
these. I have to admit though that I would have found it nice if
there wouldn't have been a need to massage the patches: git
legitimately complained about trailing whitespace in quite a few
locations.
