Hi, Stefan, Ian J. & Ian C., I don't know if it's proper but could we merge current patch series first and stubdom compatible work continued next? We do have some customers they want to use it in guest installation. And considering: a) current patch series and future stubdom compatible version will keep same user interface. b) stubdom HVM direct kernel boot won't really work until stubdom-dm switches to qemu upstream, maybe not soon? (I didn't see it in xen 4.5 development). c) how many users will actually use stubdom and at the same time using direct kernel boot?
