????????????:
14+
Support for operation in Xen/ARM64 VMs was introduced. FreeBSD
15+
has worked in x86 Xen VMs for more than a decade, but now FreeBSD
16+
works in Xen's ARM64 VMs. Effort was made to keep the patches
17+
architecture-independent, so support for Xen/RISC-V should appear
18+
once Xen/RISC-V becomes viable.
19+
20+
Tianocore/EDK2 for Xen/ARM is the presently known to work initial boot
21+
stage. Build the ArmVirtXen.dsc configuration and configure XEN_EFI.fd
22+
as the kernel to boot.
23+
24+
Presently DomU operation has been implemented. Dom0 operation could
25+
be implemented in the future. A sponsor could aid this, or CheriBSD
26+
may get there first.
