xen/doc: Improve Dom0-less documentation
- Changed unprintable characters with %s/\%xA0/ /g So all the spaces are 0x20 now. - Added address-cells and size-cells to configuration example. This resolves the dom0less boot issue in case of arm64. - Added some notes about xl tools usage in case of dom0less. Signed-off-by: Viktor Mitin <viktor_mitin@epam.com> [julien: Remove newline at the end of the file] Acked-by: Julien Grall <julien.grall@arm.com>

Notes
|
||||
-----
|
||||
|
||||
- 'xl console' command will not attach to the domain's console in case
|
||||
of dom0less. DomU are domains created by Xen (similar to Dom0) and
|
||||
therefore they are all managed by Xen and some of the commands may not work.
|
||||
|
||||
A user is allowed to configure the key sequence to switch input.
|
||||
Pressing the Xen "conswitch" (Ctrl-A by default) three times
|
||||
switches input in case of dom0less mode.
|
||||
|
||||
- Domains created by Xen will have no name at boot. Domain-0 has a name
|
||||
thanks to the helper xen-init-dom0 called at boot by the initscript.
|
||||
If you want to setup DomU name, then you will have to create the xenstore
|
||||
node associated. By default DomU names are shown as '(null)' in the
|
||||
xl domains list.
