paravirt: clarify VMI description
PATCH 1/1 paravirt: clarify VMI description
Subject: [patch] paravirt: clarify VMI description
From: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]>
clarify the description of the CONFIG_VMI option: describe the reality that VMI is a VMWare-only interface for now. Once that changes and another hypervisor adopts the VMI ABI we can change the text. As it can be seen from the Xen paravirtualization patches submitted to lkml the Xen project has chosen its own, non-VMI interface between Xen and the para-Linux - so remove Xen from the description.
