The document discusses paravirtualized operations (pv-ops) in the Linux kernel which allows it to detect if it is running under virtualization like Xen or KVM and use optimized operations. Pv-ops was successful and mainly involved bug fixes recently. Most Xen kernel development is in subsystems and amounts to over 50,000 lines of code added per release. Future work includes optimizations to blkback and netback drivers to improve I/O performance, as well as adding perf support and developing a hybrid PV/HVM domain 0 capability. The presenter takes questions at the end.
