+1 on Xen support, I haven't had time to test on RHEL yet or poke around in the kernel yet, but has all of the Xen support been removed from the kernel?
It has not been removed, but .. let me go in details.
You can boot an RHEL7 guest as PV, but there are issues:
1). The FB driver has been unset (CONFIG_XEN_FBDEV_FRONTEND) that means you can still do a text-console (in theory).
Is this an interesting use case? XenServer, for example, doesn't present a PV frame buffer to any PV guest and I don't recall anyone ever asking for it. There are better technologies for graphical remote access (e.g., remote X over SSH, RDP, VNC...).
Yes it is. Folks often use 'vncviewer'.
3). There are also some systemd and udev things missing.
Really? What? There shouldn't be anything extra for a pure PV guest vs a PVHVM guest (which RedHat do support).]
I don't know the details, John Haxby (CCed here) knows them.
