| 17 | Scrub pages before returning them to the system for reuse by |
| 18 | other domains. This makes sure that any confidential data |

| 21 | If in doubt, say yes. |

| 36 | The xen filesystem provides a way for domains to share |
| 37 | information with each other and with the hypervisor. |
| 38 | For example, by reading and writing the "xenbus" file, guests |
