my reading (incomplete) of VT is that you get, among other things, an
emulated NE 2000 (That's my reading!).
So, I don't know what to say ...
You really do want virtual devices like the xen front end/back end
drivers, since you can do better with a shared queue than with emulating
some wacky legacy device (I think).
So, plan 9 will run unmodified under VT, but we do want to continue to
have a plan 9 that is built for xen, long term.
Tim, I'll contact you w.r.t. Xen 3.0 and we can figure out what to do.
I've started but 3.0 is still moving target mode -- first thing is to get
it on my desktop and hope it will work. You can't have 2.0 and 3.0 on the
same machine, so I am not willing to muck up my laptop just yet with 3.0
given how well 2.0 is working for me. I did a demo today with a "cluster"
on my laptop -- the compute nodes boot in 1 second on Xen.
