From 38e20b07efd541a959de367dc90a17f92ce2e8a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sheng Yang Date: Fri, 14 May 2010 12:40:51 +0100 Subject: x86/xen: event channels delivery on HVM. Set the callback to receive evtchns from Xen, using the callback vector delivery mechanism. The traditional way for receiving event channel notifications from Xen is via the interrupts from the platform PCI device. The callback vector is a newer alternative that allow us to receive notifications on any vcpu and doesn't need any PCI support: we allocate a vector exclusively to receive events, in the vector handler we don't need to interact with the vlapic, therefore we avoid a VMEXIT.
