pmf(9) and Xen domU suspending?



Hi list,

I am working on suspend/resume functionality for port-xen under the supervision of Manuel Bouyer (bouyer@) and Stoned Elipot (seb@). Currently, I am mostly trying to get familiar with NetBSD internals, and Xen.

While studying the code regarding devices relating to port-xen (xenbus, xennet, hypervisor...), I was thinking at how I should implement the suspend/resume mechanisms for theses devices and buses (inspired by ACPI states). Manuel suggested me to have a look at pmf(9), but the documentation tends to be scarce (compared to autoconf machinery on "NetBSD internals"). And since pmf(9) is still a WIP, I am a bit lost with it.

The man page points me to the MI implementation of it in the kernel. However, I would like to know if there lies somewhere some "canonical" example (or how-to) I could read just to get a better understanding of it.

Thanking you in advance for your time and patience,
