Well, I really wanted to have guest smp in the release, but alas, it was
not to be. It still doesn't like starting X, for example.

Note: on i386 the qemu binary is now named qemu-system-x86_64. This is
to allow migration from 32-bit hosts to 64-bit hosts, and to allow
32-bit userspace on a 64-bit host to launch a 64-bit guest.

Changes from kvm-28:
- live migration from 32-bit hosts to 64-bit hosts (Uri Lublin)
- monotonic timestamp counter on Intel
- more real mode support (Nitin A Kamble)
- infrastructure for in-kernel PIC and APIC (Gregory Haskins, Eddie Dong)
- fix read-modify-write to mmio (fixes F7 installer) (Luca Tettamanti)
- fix rebooting a long-running guest
- reliably detect if svm was disabled by bios (Joerg Roedel)
- suspend/resumes fixes (will not work with older kernels)
- fix nx confusion with large pages and real mode
- remove dependency on libuuid
- fix registers access in monitor/gdbstub (Anthony Liguori)
- minor fixes and cleanups (various)

Notes:
If you use the modules from kvm-29, you can use any version of Linux
from 2.6.9 upwards.
If you use the modules from Linux 2.6.20, you need to use kvm-12.
If you use the modules from 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.
