| 20 | The Freescale hypervisor management driver provides several services |
| 21 | to drivers and applications related to the Freescale hypervisor: |
| 22 | |
| 23 | 1) An ioctl interface for querying and managing partitions. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | 2) A file interface to reading incoming doorbells. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | 3) An interrupt handler for shutting down the partition upon |
| 28 | receiving the shutdown doorbell from a manager partition. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | 4) A kernel interface for receiving callbacks when a managed |
| 31 | partition shuts down. |
