This would have been very handy when debugging some pv-l1tf issues. As there is no cost to supporting it, wire it up. Due to the way dom0 is constructed, switching into shadow mode must be done after the pagetables are written, and because of partially being in dom0 context, shadow_enable() doesn't like the state it finds. Reuse the pv_l1tf tasklet for convenience, which will switch dom0 into shadow mode just before it starts executing.

Remus provides fault tolerance for virtual machines by sending continuous checkpoints to a backup, which will activate if the target VM fails. See the website at http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Remus for details. Using Remus with libxl on Xen 4.5 and higher: To enable network buffering, you need libnl 3.2.8 or higher along with the development headers and command line utilities. If your distro does not have the appropriate libnl3 version, you can find the latest source tarball of libnl3 at http://www.carisma.slowglass.com/~tgr/libnl/ Disk replication: VMs protected by Remus need to use DRBD based disk backends. Specifically, you need a compile and install a custom version of DRBD, that is available publicly at https://github.com/rshriram/remus-drbd This code is based on DRBD 8.3.11 and uses a new replication protocol (named protocol D) for asynchronous disk checkpoint replication. A protected VM's DRBD disks on the primary and backup hosts need to be configured to use protocol D as the replication protocol. An example resource configuration file can be found in the aforementioned github repository.
