still has the page in its TLB to ensure memory system integrity. One
other issue for supporting MP guests is that we'll need some sort of
CPU gang scheduler, which will require some research.
Currently, the privileged domain0 can request access to the underlying
hardware. This is how we enable the VGA console and Xserver to run in
domain0. We are planning on extending this functionality to enable
other device drivers for 'low performance' devices to be run in
domain0, and then virtualized to other domains by domain0. This will
enable random PCMCIA and USB devices to be used that we're unlikely to
ever get around to writing a Xen driver for.
We'd also like to experiment moving the network and block device
drivers out of Xen, and each into their own special domains that are
given access to the specific set of h/w resources they need to
operate. This will provide some isolation against faulty device
drivers, potentially allowing them to be restarted on failure. There
may be more context switches incurred, but due to Xen's pipelined
asynchronous i/o interface we expect this overhead to be amortised.
This architecture would also allow device drivers to be easily
upgraded independent of Xen, which is necessary for our vision of Xen
as a next-gen BIOS replacement.
