CHANGELOG: Mention PVH boot mode
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Firecracker now supports PVH boot as an alternative to "Linux" boot on
the x86_64 architecture.  This makes it possible for FreeBSD to boot,
and also affects how Linux kernels compiled with the CONFIG_XEN_PVH=y
option boot.

capability checks that Firecracker performs during boot. If any of
these fields are in use, minimal target snapshot version is
restricted to 1.5.
- Added support for PVH boot mode. This is used when an x86 kernel provides
the appropriate ELF Note to indicate that PVH boot mode is supported.
Linux kernels compiled with CONFIG_XEN_PVH=y set this ELF Note, as do
FreeBSD kernels.
