## Hardware description ##
|

|
||||
PVHv2 guests that have access to hardware (either emulated or real) will also
|
||||
have ACPI tables with the description of the hardware that's available to the
|
||||
guest. This applies to both privileged and unprivileged guests. A hint of
|
||||
the position of the RSDP in memory (if present) can be fetched from the start
|
||||
info structure that's passed at boot time (field rsdp_paddr).
|
||||
|
||||
Description of paravirtualized devices will come from XenStore, just as it's
|
||||
done for HVM guests.
