Hello guys,

I have created wiki page for Salvator-X board:
https://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_ARM_with_Virtualization_Extensions/Salvator-X

And update related yocto layer:
https://github.com/qbeeukraine/meta-platform-xen

Please review & leave your comments.

I am planning to update this layer with Xen 4.8 support in nearly future.

With the best regards,
Iurii Mykhalskyi
