- use the correct way to get the size of a disk device or partition (from
haad@NetBSD.org)
- if given a block device, use the character device instead (the block device
is already in use by the backend driver).
With this I could succeffully boot a HVMPV FreeBSD kernel using a phy:
virtual disk.
interface name for the vif, e.g. xvif(4) for dom0, and xennet(4)
for domU.
This allows querying the XenStore for the vif names, rather than
hardcoding their syntax in vif-* scripts.
Add a xen-subr shell script that can contain customized functions, and
include it in the vif-ip/vif-bridge scripts.
Introduce xenstore_read_default that returns the value of a specific
key from XenStore, or the default specified value when key is absent.
Bump revision.

Dom0 PAE support will be pulled up to netbsd-5 after netbsd-5-0-RELEASE is
tagged. building the packages on netbsd-5 in the meantime does not hurt.
Recent changes in -current now allow building a 32bit binary on amd64 for this package.
While here, remove conflict with xentools32-* which was never packaged.
Release notes for Xen 3.3.0:
This is a major new release with a host of new features including:
- Power management (P & C states) in the hypervisor
- HVM emulation domains ('qemu-on-minios') for better scalability,
performance and security
- PVGrub: boot PV kernels using real GRUB inside the PV domain
- Better PV performance: domain lock removed from pagetable-update paths
- Shadow3: optimisations to make this the best shadow pagetable algorithm
yet, making HVM performance better than ever
- Hardware Assisted Paging enhancements: 2MB page support for better TLB
locality
- CPUID feature levelling: allows safe domain migration across systems with
different CPU models.
- PVSCSI drivers for SCSI access direct into PV guests
- HVM framebuffer optimisations: scan for framebuffer updates more
efficiently
- Device passthrough enhancements
- Full x86 real-mode emulation for HVM guests on Intel VT: supports a much
wider range of legacy guest OSes
- New qemu merge with upstream development
- Many other changes in both x86 and IA64 ports
This has a handful of small fixes that were submitted after -rc5, and also a
larger fix for emulation of certain repeated I/O instructions for x86 HVM
guests.
The Xen virtual machine monitor allows running several virtual machines on a
single physical machine. The xentools33 package contains the tools to create,
destroy and control the virtual machines.
The xentools33 package contains the tools for Xen 3.3.x
