charset="utf-8" Organization: Invisible Things Lab Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Kernel on Xen is loaded via fw_cfg. Previously it used non-DMA version, which loaded the kernel (and initramfs) byte by byte. Change this to DMA, to load in bigger chunks. This change alone reduces load time of a (big) kernel+initramfs from ~10s down to below 1s. This change was suggested initially here: https://lore.kernel.org/xen-devel/20180216204031.000052e9@gmail.com/ Apparently this alone is already enough to get massive speedup.
