That would be great Jim,

I've built a cloud that uses CentOS+libvirt+Xen 4.1.3 to do GPU passthrough and I just love to be able to use libvirt with Xen, this setup makes a lot of sense to me since our main, bigger cloud is the standard libvirt+KVM, using libvirt across the board is great for us.

I'm following your work closely, the GPU cloud is still using libvirt+xend but when I move to Xen 4.2 my understanding is that I will need libvirt+xl (xenlight) so I guess there's still some work to be done in libvirt there...

The reason I want to move to Xen 4.2 is the GPU passthrough of NVIDIA GPUs... currently, with Xen 4.1.3, I successfully passthrough ATI GPUs only.

Boris

Yes, I'm slowly working on improving support for xen.org Xen via the libvirt driver and hope to have these improvements in for the Folsom release.
