PV-on-HVM guests may want to use the xen keyboard/mouse frontend,

they don't use the xen frame buffer frontend. For this case it

Ok, but PV does?

make much sense for INPUT_XEN_KBDDEV_FRONTEND to depend on
XEN_FBDEV_FRONTEND. The opposite direction always makes more sense,
i.e.
if you're using xenfb, then you'll want xenkbd. Switch the
dependencies.

That sounds like it would be universal irregardless if it is
PV or PVonHVM?

This patch makes it such that if you want to use both, then you must
select both. It also says that if you want FB, then you need the
KBD. However, if you only want the KBD then you're fine with just
that. So there isn't any risk of breaking configs designed to use
FB, because FB should be manually selected for those configs anyway.

Dmitry,

I am OK with this patch. Should I pick it up on my tree for 3.4 or
are you OK doing it via your tree?

Konrad,

I don't have a good copy of the patch so it you could pick it up that
would be great.

Thanks.
