[edk2-devel] [PATCH v2 0/5] Fix OvmfXen HVM Direct kernel boot failure

[Yao, Jiewen]

HI Gary
Several comment:

1) According to our process, we need a Bugzilla. Would you please file it?

2) I do not understand how HVM direct kernel boot is related to S3 enabling.
It seems 1/3/4/5 are for S3, while 2 is for missing driver.
Should we split them to 2 patch set?

3) Does the S3 issue only happen in direct kernel boot? Or is it a generic issue.

4) Have you validated non direct kernel boot to ensure it still works?
