two quick points (a) xen already has a mode_switch code, so AFAIK xen might not use it (as suggested by comment in another patch in this patch set)
For KVM the boot procedure for Hyp mode is quite clearly defined: the kernel must be booted in Hyp mode.
I was under the impression that Xen wanted to use the same paradigm and rely on bootloaders to switch to Hyp mode and thereby get rid of the code in Xen.
Absolutely correct, our needs are the same as KVM and we want to be booted in the same way.
