Given that the interface has clearly bitrotten since it was first introduced, I think it is reasonable to declare amnesty to fix it properly. As the format is chosen at configure time, I think it is reasonable for the Xen interface to just hand back blobs, and require the tools in dom0 to know how to interpret them. ~Andrew _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org https://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
