Xen for Squeeze, 3.4 or 4.0
Hi folks
I'm currently thinking about which version of Xen supporting in Squeeze.
There are two possibilities: 3.4 and 4.0. 3.4 is currently in testing
and unstable, 4.0 is in experimental.
Xen 3.4
=======
Pros
- Proofed to be stable
Cons
- NUMA-mode only opt-in, no infos about stability
- Fails on several modern machines because of IO-APIC problems
Xen 4.0
=======
Pros
- NUMA
- More tested with the Kernel in Squeeze
Cons
- Quite new
My personal preference would be to go with 4.0.

Cc debian-devel, as there was quite a few discussions about this matter
in the last months.
