Subject: [PATCH] accel/kvm: Adjust the note about the minimum required kernel version
Date: Wed, 2 Jul 2025 08:03:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250702060319.13091-1-thuth@redhat.com> (raw)
From: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>
Since commit 126e7f78036 ("kvm: require KVM_CAP_IOEVENTFD and
KVM_CAP_IOEVENTFD_ANY_LENGTH") we require at least kernel 4.4 to
be able to use KVM. Adjust the upgrade_note accordingly.
While we're at it, remove the text about kvm-kmod and the
SourceForge URL since this is not actively maintained anymore.
Fixes: 126e7f78036 ("kvm: require KVM_CAP_IOEVENTFD and KVM_CAP_IOEVENTFD_ANY_LENGTH")
