Add reference to the fact that these drivers are for "classic-Xen" kernels only and do not work with PVops but point towards the PVHVM functionality in mainstream.

These drivers provide paravirtualised drivers for pre-PVops Linux
|
|
kernels which have the classic-Xen patches applied. They do not work
|
|
with kernels which are not patched with the classic-Xen patches. In
|
|
particular this includes all PVops kernels.
|
|
|
|
For 2.6.36 and newer you should use the "PVHVM" functionality which is
|
|
available in the mainline kernel.
|
|
|
|
To build do one of:
|
|
|
|
./mkbuildtree [<arch>]
|
|
NB. You can override paths to Xen sources and a (stub) XenLinux
|
|
build tree via the XEN and XL environment variable.
|
|
|
|
- or -
|
|
make -C /path/to/kernel/build M=$PWD modules
|
|
NB. This is your native kernel build tree (or a distro provided
|
|
stub), not the XenLinux sources referred to in step 1.
|
|
NB. If you are cross compiling, you need to set ARCH and
|
|
CROSS_COMPILE too.
|
|
|
|
You get four modules, xen-platform-pci.ko, xen-vbd.ko, xen-vnif.ko and
|
|
xen-balloon.ko. Load xen-platform-pci first, and then
|
|
whichever of xen-vbd, xen-vnif and xen-balloon.ko you happen to need.
