I am part of the L4 group in Dresden (
www.l4hq.org and
www.tudos.org/L4). It seems reasonable to combine efforts to provide
some hypervisor management facilities. Some collegue pointed me to the
libvirt project. I am well aware that there is more to the
virtualization effort than 'just' providing another backend to libvirt.
So, we think that it is a good idea to integrate our facilities to
manage (para-)virtualized operating systems on L4 into libvirt. What do
you think?
Resurrecting that old thread.
I think that the new architecture of libvirt, as in 0.1.0 should make
the work of adding a driver for something like l4 quite easier. The
main libvirt.c code may still call directly the Xen drivers, but that
should now be easy to tidy up and plug new modules.
