Is it time now to officially remove Dom0 support?

So we do have an prototype implementation of netback but it is

waiting

for review of xen-devel to the spec.

And I believe the implementation does utilize some of the dom0
parts of code in DPDK.

Please, do you have URLs/pointers about it? It would be interesting

to share

it with DPDK community too.

Joao, would it be possible to include an tarball of the patches? I know
they are no in the right state with the review of the staging
grants API - they are incompatible, but it may help folks to get
a feel for what DPDK APIs you used?

OK, see attached - I should note that its a WIP as Konrad noted, but

once the

staging grants work is finished, the code would be improved to have it

in better

shape (as well as in feature parity) for a proper RFC [and adhering to

the

project coding style].

Excuse my ignorance on Xen.
Is xen-netback for Dom0?
Is the DPDK Dom0 support working and useful?

I'm also curious about Xen support on DPDK, mostly because I'm planning to
run DPDK Apps on Amazon EC2 and they are Xen-based...

So, sorry to ask this here but, how to use DPDK on Amazon EC2 (i.e., on top
of Xen)? Which EC2 flavor / DPDK drivers to use?

Thanks!
