ARM 32bit virtualization support

If this is being removed from the Linux kernel, is there some way for us to keep it in? I want to use it.

LTS kernel I guess.

True enough. I guess you might also want to keep a record of the patch that removed it, so you can backport it to the next LTS kernel (or the latest one, but that's more of a moving target, so might bite you) once this one drops support.

Xen seems to have arm32 support, too. It doesn't seem to be removed, either.

Yeah, but it doesn't have power management on ARM AFAIK.

Yeah, but it doesn't have power management on ARM AFAIK.

So it'll kill the battery faster?

 

[fahrstuhl]

Yeah, but it doesn't have power management on ARM AFAIK.

Do you know how we could fix that? I could only find the Xen wiki page on power management and it seems to be mostly about CPU frequency throttling? I also don't know anything about throttling on the Pyra, but if we have the usual Linux throttling support, Xen throttling shouldn't be too far off, right?

So can I use Xen as a sort of dual-boot with PyraOS? Because I'd use Xen for things like other OSes and maybe Android support.
