OVMF-on-XEN
===========

Here go patches as part of my effort as a Google Summer of Code
mentor for the OVMF-on-XEN project.

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/tianocore/index.php?title=GSOC2011#Enable_Xen_Support_in_OVMF

The goal is to port UEFI OVMF (UEFI firmware for virtual machines) to run in a
Xen HVM domain.

Patch ToC
=========

ovmf-firmware-unstable-4.2.patch - HVMLOADER changes and binary OVMF images
ovmf-xend-unstable-4.2.patch - XEND changes to support loading different ROM
ovmf-edk2.patch - EDK2 patch against OvmfPkg to support Xen HVM

Running
=======

With XEND patch, your XM config now has the optional hvmbios parameter, which
can be 'rombios', 'ovmf-ia32' and 'ovmf-x64'
