Hi all,
in order to reduce the diff between qemu-kvm.git and upstream, getting
rid of the kvm subdirectory would be nice. What bits there are actually
still in use today?
From the top of my head, I only remember running kvm_stat and
scripts/vmxcap from time to time. Obviously, there is nothing actively
built anymore during normal qemu production. So what is the role of, e.g.,
- kvm/bios
- kvm/extboot
- kvm/vgabios
- kvm/scripts
today? Anything there we want to push upstream? And then drop the rest?

Does not exist.

Not needed, pc-bios/ version used instead.

Keep kvm_stat and scripts/ (other than vmxcap the *-release are still
used), as far as i'm concerned.

Indeed. Dunno why I saw this.

I don't want to keep things there. I want to push useful stuff upstream
and remove the rest. Alternatively, qemu-kvm specific release helpers
could be kept private in the top-level scripts/ of qemu-kvm.
My suggestion:
- kvm/kvm_stat -> qemu.git/scripts/kvm/kvm_stat
- kvm/scripts/vmxcap -> qemu.git/scripts/kvm/vmxcap
- kvm/scripts/*-release-> qemu-kvm.git/scripts
- rm -r kvm

Do we have everything in kvm/vgabios merged? Lots of vga modelines IIRC.

There is one modeline pending:

Anthony, can you please add that patch to qemu's vgabios so we can drop
kvm's entirely?
