Hi,
I noticed there are some efforts to add Xen PV block device support in Seabios in a GSoC project and there is a wiki page [1] for it. I found some patches [2] to add Xenstore R/W support for Seabios. But I didn't find the patches to add PV block device driver in Seabios.
If you know please tell me where I can find these patches. And I noticed that the patches [2] and this GSoC project work didn't get applied to Seabios eventually, is there any reason? Does it mean that there are some difficulties to support Xen PV block device in Seabios?
On the wiki page there seems to be some clues on why it is not implemented -- there are issues with real mode. But then everything was way before my formal involvement with Xen so I don't really know all the details.
Wei.
Thanks in advance!
