Hello,

is anybody working on KVM or something equivalent for Windows and Mac OS X?

I recently noticed that the QEMU based Android emulator uses KVM for Linux
and HAXM, an Intel hypervisor, for Windows and Mac OS X.

Would it be a good plan to merge HAXM support in latest QEMU
(the Android QEMU is based on a rather old version)? It only
supports Intel based hosts, is restricted to 32 bit guests (?)
and free, but not open source.

Regards,
Stefan Weil
