Unless I am misunderstanding the information on this official source - All modern implementations of Xen features for DomU is now implemented through the pvops framework. - The pvops framework is part of the mainline Linux kernel.
This suggests that a special kernel-xen is not needed for DomU and supports all current documented features. So, maybe kernel-xen used for DomU would be just another choice to avoid possible issues in another kernel choice but not necessarily recommended?

Currently, all SUSE distros ship with a Xen kernel, not a pvops enabled kernel. The SUSE host will always contain a Xen kernel for booting into Xen. When installing a SUSE distro as a guest and you choose para-virtualization you will get a Xen kernel (kernel-xen) in the guest. If you install something like Fedora you will get a pvops kernel. Installing a Xen HVM SUSE guest will give you a native SUSE kernel (not pvops) in the guest. - Charles -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+owner@opensuse.org
