[ANNOUNCE] kvm-46 release

[Avi Kivity <avi-atKUWr5tajBWk0Htik3J/w@public.gmane.org>]

We've now switched to allocating guest memory in userspace rather than
in the kernel.  This is important if you have a mainframe, but also if
you want to share memory between guests and implement nice features like
swapping.

Changes since kvm-45:
- fix host oops on bad guest ioapic accesses
- handle NMIs before enabling host interrupts
- add general guest memory accessors (Izik Eidus)
- allow user control over shadow cache size (Izik Eidus)
- auto tune shadow cache size with guest memory (Izik Eidus)
- allocate guest memory in userspace instead of in kernel (Izik Eidus)
- code style fixes (Mike Day, Anthony Liguori)
- lapic cleanups (Rusty Russell)
- fix acpi interrupt reporting for FreeBSD
- fix color problems on certain displays
- Red Hat 7.1 support
- vmmouse support (Dan Kenigsberg)
- fix sdl window caption when keyboard is captured (Dan Kenigsberg)
- improve libkvm configure script (Jerone Young)
- improve bios compilation support on x86_64 hosts (Laurent Vivier)
- fix acpi processor reporting for Windows 2000 with the ACPI HAL (Sheng
Yang)


Notes:
    If you use the modules bundled with kvm-46, you can use any version
of Linux from 2.6.9 upwards.
    If you use the modules bundled with Linux 2.6.20, you need to use
kvm-12.
    If you use the modules bundled with Linux 2.6.21, you need to use
kvm-17.
    Modules from Linux 2.6.22 and up will work with any kvm version from
kvm-22.  Some features may only be available in newer releases.
    For best performance, use Linux 2.6.23-rc2 or later as the host.
