[PATCH v5 3/9] xen: update SUPPORT.md for static allocation
Posted by Penny Zheng 3 years, 8 months ago
SUPPORT.md doesn't seem to explicitly say whether static memory is
supported, so this commit updates SUPPORT.md to add feature static
allocation tech preview for now.

Although I completely understand what you mean I would rather not use
the word "sub-system" as we haven't used it before in a Xen context. So
instead I would only use domains. I would write it like this:


### Static Allocation

Static allocation refers to domains for which memory areas are
pre-defined by configuration using physical address ranges.

Status, ARM: Tech Preview


With that you can add
