[PATCH] paravirt: clarify VMI description
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Clarify the description of the CONFIG_VMI option: describe the reality
that VMI is a VMWare-only interface for now. Once that changes and
another hypervisor adopts the VMI ABI we can change the text.

As can be seen from the Xen paravirtualization patches submitted to lkml
the Xen project has chosen its own, non-VMI interface between Xen and
the para-Linux - so remove Xen from the description.

VMI provides a paravirtualized interface to multiple hypervisors
include VMware ESX server and Xen by connecting to a ROM module
VMI provides a paravirtualized interface to the VMware ESX server
(it could be used by other hypervisors in theory too, but is not
at the moment), by linking the kernel to a GPL-ed ROM module
provided by the hypervisor.
