AIUI it, the plan is: - There will be stable releases of qemu-kvm in sync with qemu upstream releases - e.g. you can expect a qemu-kvm-0.11.0 release shortly after qemu-0.11.0 is released - There will be no stable releases, as such, of the kernel module. You should use upstream linux releases instead - e.g. the latest stable release is 2.6.29.2 - The kvm-XX releases are development snapshots of the kvm.git and qemu-kvm.git code For example, in Fedora, our plan is that we will ship the kvm.ko included in upstream linux releases and the qemu-kvm stable releases[1]. We may include qemu-kvm from kvm-XX releases during the development of the next Fedora release, but only as a preview of the next qemu-kvm stable release. Cheers, Mark.
