xen-unstable c/s 16931 introduced a per-domain setting for hvm guests to enable/disable hardware assisted paging. If disabled, software techniques such as shadow page tables are used. If enabled, and the feature exists in underlying hardware, hardware support for paging is used. Xen does not provide a mechanism to discover the HAP capability, so we advertise its availability for hvm guests on Xen >= 3.3.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
