XenParavirtOps wiki cleanup, comments needed

[Pasi Kärkkäinen]

Hello,

Jeremy/Konrad/others: What do you guys think of the stuff on XenParavirtOps page? 
http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps

I was planning to clean it up, and remove things like this:

"Xen/paravirt_ops has not had wide use or testing, so any testing you do is extremely valuable."
"Xen/paravirt_ops is very much a work in progress, and there are still feature gaps compared to 2.6.18-xen."

etc.. those don't sound like very up-to-date anymore :)

What about the notes like these:
	- "CPU hotplug" (I guess this is about vcpu hotplug?)
	- "Device hotplug"
	- "Device unplug/module unload"

What's the status of those so I can update the page.. ? 

Thanks,

-- Pasi

Yeah, we been quite busy testing and getting things ready.

Feature gaps .. well, there are some, I was thinking to list them on the
presentation I am doing on.

Um, done with Bastian's Blank patches that do some MODULE_ALIAS magic.

Hi,

if "device hotplug" include block attach, then it works : I can add new block device in a running PVOps DomU.

Yep, I'll update the wiki page after XenSummit.

Pasi, memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver is merged
into Linus git tree. It means that it will be available in
Linux Kernel Ver. 3.1.

Thanks. Pasi, could you remove "Balloon expansion (using memory hotplug)
to..." sentence from "Work in progress" section "Balloon expansion
(using memory hotplug) to..." sentence ???

Additionally, please move "kdump/kexec" bullet from "To be done" section
to "Work in progress" section. It is my GSoC 2011 project. You could
find more details about it here:
