Re: GSoC'20 Interested Student: Adding support to Jailhouse Hypervisor

Hi Jan, Thanks for the reply. I looked deeper into the libvirt and Jailhouse source code and found following two things that seem relevant to the project I am interested in. - Libvirt driver interface at [libvirt.git] <https://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=tree;hb=HEAD> / src <https://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=tree;f=src;hb=HEAD> / driver.h <https://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=blob_plain;f=src/driver.h;hb=HEA... - Jailhouse tool, which is using the ioctl API of the Jailhouse, available at https://github.com/siemens/jailhouse/blob/master/tools/jailhouse.c. With the help of the above two, it looks like, a libvirt driver for the Jailhouse can be implemented. Let me know if I am moving in the right direction so far. I have been looking at the other libvirt driver implementations for hypervisors like HyperV and VMware to understand their implementation and learn from there.
