    	depends on XEN
    
    config XEN_BALLOON
    	bool "Xen memory balloon driver"
    	default y
    	help
    	  The balloon driver allows the Xen domain to request more memory from
    	  the system to expand the domain's memory allocation, or alternatively
    	  return unneeded memory to the system.
    
    config XEN_SELFBALLOONING
    	bool "Dynamically self-balloon kernel memory to target"
    	depends on XEN && XEN_BALLOON && CLEANCACHE && SWAP && XEN_TMEM
    	default n
    	help
    	  Self-ballooning dynamically balloons available kernel memory driven
    	  by the current usage of anonymous memory ("committed AS") and
    	  controlled by various sysfs-settable parameters.  Configuring
    	  FRONTSWAP is highly recommended; if it is not configured, self-
    	  ballooning is disabled by default but can be enabled with the
    	  'selfballooning' kernel boot parameter.  If FRONTSWAP is configured,
    	  frontswap-selfshrinking is enabled by default but can be disabled
    	  with the 'noselfshrink' kernel boot parameter; and self-ballooning
    	  is enabled by default but can be disabled with the 'noselfballooning'
    	  kernel boot parameter.  Note that systems without a sufficiently
    	  large swap device should not enable self-ballooning.
    
    config XEN_BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG
    	bool "Memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver"
    	default n
    	depends on XEN_BALLOON && MEMORY_HOTPLUG
    	help
    	  Memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver allows expanding memory
    	  available for the system above limit declared at system startup.
    	  It is very useful on critical systems which require long
    	  run without rebooting.
    
    	  Memory could be hotplugged in following steps:
    
    	    1) dom0: xl mem-max <domU> <maxmem>
    	       where <maxmem> is >= requested memory size,
    
    	    2) dom0: xl mem-set <domU> <memory>
    	       where <memory> is requested memory size; alternatively memory
    	       could be added by writing proper value to
    	       /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target or
    	       /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target_kb on dumU,
    
    	    3) domU: for i in /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/state; do \
    	               [ "`cat "$i"`" = offline ] && echo online > "$i"; done
    
    	  Memory could be onlined automatically on domU by adding following line to udev rules:
    
    	  SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/sh -c '[ -f /sys$devpath/state ] && echo online > /sys$devpath/state'"
    
    	  In that case step 3 should be omitted.
    
    config XEN_SCRUB_PAGES
    	bool "Scrub pages before returning them to system"
    	depends on XEN_BALLOON
    	default y
    	help
    	  Scrub pages before returning them to the system for reuse by
    	  other domains.  This makes sure that any confidential data
    	  is not accidentally visible to other domains.  Is it more
    	  secure, but slightly less efficient.
    	  If in doubt, say yes.
    
    config XEN_DEV_EVTCHN
    	tristate "Xen /dev/xen/evtchn device"
    	default y
    	help
    	  The evtchn driver allows a userspace process to triger event
    	  channels and to receive notification of an event channel
    	  firing.
    	  If in doubt, say yes.
    
    config XEN_BACKEND
    	bool "Backend driver support"
    	depends on XEN_DOM0
    	default y
    	help
    	  Support for backend device drivers that provide I/O services
    	  to other virtual machines.
    
    config XENFS
    	tristate "Xen filesystem"
    	select XEN_PRIVCMD
    	default y
    	help
    	  The xen filesystem provides a way for domains to share
    	  information with each other and with the hypervisor.
    	  For example, by reading and writing the "xenbus" file, guests
    	  may pass arbitrary information to the initial domain.
    	  If in doubt, say yes.
    
    config XEN_COMPAT_XENFS
           bool "Create compatibility mount point /proc/xen"
           depends on XENFS
           default y
           help
             The old xenstore userspace tools expect to find "xenbus"
             under /proc/xen, but "xenbus" is now found at the root of the
             xenfs filesystem.  Selecting this causes the kernel to create
             the compatibility mount point /proc/xen if it is running on
             a xen platform.
             If in doubt, say yes.
    
    config XEN_SYS_HYPERVISOR
           bool "Create xen entries under /sys/hypervisor"
           depends on SYSFS
           select SYS_HYPERVISOR
           default y
           help
             Create entries under /sys/hypervisor describing the Xen
    	 hypervisor environment.  When running native or in another
    	 virtual environment, /sys/hypervisor will still be present,
    	 but will have no xen contents.

    config XEN_GRANT_DEV_ALLOC
    	tristate "User-space grant reference allocator driver"
    	depends on XEN
    	default m
    	help
    	  Allows userspace processes to create pages with access granted
    	  to other domains. This can be used to implement frontend drivers
    	  or as part of an inter-domain shared memory channel.

    config XEN_PCIDEV_BACKEND
    	tristate "Xen PCI-device backend driver"
    	depends on PCI && X86 && XEN
    	depends on XEN_BACKEND
    	default m
    	help
    	  The PCI device backend driver allows the kernel to export arbitrary
    	  PCI devices to other guests. If you select this to be a module, you
    	  will need to make sure no other driver has bound to the device(s)
    	  you want to make visible to other guests.
    
    	  The parameter "passthrough" allows you specify how you want the PCI
    	  devices to appear in the guest. You can choose the default (0) where
    	  PCI topology starts at 00.00.0, or (1) for passthrough if you want
    	  the PCI devices topology appear the same as in the host.
    
    	  The "hide" parameter (only applicable if backend driver is compiled
    	  into the kernel) allows you to bind the PCI devices to this module
    	  from the default device drivers. The argument is the list of PCI BDFs:
    	  xen-pciback.hide=(03:00.0)(04:00.0)
    
    	  If in doubt, say m.

    	depends on XEN && X86 && ACPI_PROCESSOR && CPU_FREQ
    	default m
    	help
              This ACPI processor uploads Power Management information to the Xen
    	  hypervisor.
    
    	  To do that the driver parses the Power Management data and uploads
    	  said information to the Xen hypervisor. Then the Xen hypervisor can
    	  select the proper Cx and Pxx states. It also registers itslef as the
    	  SMM so that other drivers (such as ACPI cpufreq scaling driver) will
    	  not load.
    
              To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
    	  called xen_acpi_processor  If you do not know what to choose, select
    	  M here. If the CPUFREQ drivers are built in, select Y here.
