Transparent paravirtualization has little value to developers
or technology providers but definitely has value for distros
and software/system/support providers. Note for example
that Vmware's PVI (for x86) has transparent paravirtualization
because Vmware (the largest provider in the world of
virtualization software) considers it valuable.
My opinion: we should NOT give up this feature. The
recent VP patches are critical to catching up with
Xen/x86 functionality so we have to accept some short
term minor regressions for this. I think all other
patches (including event channel) should not be accepted
if they break transparent paravirtualization.

virtualization ?
Hi,
most big recent patches (dom0vp, event channel) have broken
transparent
virtualization.
Should we give up this feature ?
If only Dan and I like this feature, this question should be
clearly asked.
Tristan.
