Greetings All,

I am very new to Xen but have spent a considerable amount of time
researching various emulators and simulators like QEMU, Virtualbox, Bochs,
etc.... to find out which may be good for a project that I am interested in
moving towards related to the x86_64 platform.

It seems that XEN may be the best solution as I need something that can be
billed as a Type I and also Type II emulator. Xen and HXen meet these goals.

Now I am entering the learning curve to get a feel for the source code but
had a question related to the layout of Xen.

I am trying to understand where the main init functions are in Xen as for
example in QEMU they are in the v1.c file and as to where the mian loops
are for the hypervisor are to loop through the vCPU's.

I am also trying to get a feel for where the memory allocation functions
are in Xen.

Also, in the Xen 4.2.1 distro, is qemu called for each HPV.

Please forgive these questions if they should be obvious to me, but I would
like to get a good feel for the booting sequence and control loops that Xen
has to utilize.

I have read a number of documents on the website that give me briev
overview of how Xen operates with  Dom0 and DomU guests but now it is time
for me to get a feel for the sources so that I might be able to learn and
contribute to the effort of a very wonderful hypervisor.

Any guidance or help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards and have a great day,
Lonnie T. Cumberland
