What are the differences between what was defined by 2005/419 and what is proposed here? The APIs seems to do the same thing. I do not have any issue with what is proposed but curious to know why are we obsoleting MACH_SET_SOFT_STATE and MACH_GET_SOFT_STATE APIs and introduce new ones.

I have couple of questions related to the scope of these 'guest soft states' maintained by Hypervisor. - Are these guest softstates visible outside that particular guest LDOM? - Does Service LDOM has access to guest states of all LDOMs running on a system? - Does Service Processor(ALOM/vBSC) has access to guest states of all LDOMs running on a system?

The guest state is not essential to the core operation of the virtual machine and - as is evidenced by the recent discussions - is part of an evolving management picture. For this reason, it is better for this API to have its own group so as not to be disruptive to the Core group. The APIs are essentially the same, but the semantics have been further clarified. The removal of EWOULDBLOCK as a possible error code further simplified the semantics of the interface.
