From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Chris Wright Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/2] KVM: remove host and guest pv mmu support Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2011 17:44:23 -0700 Message-ID: <20111021004423.GM12280@sequoia.sous-sol.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Cc: Marcelo Tosatti , Avi Kivity , Chris Wright To: kvm@vger.kernel.org Return-path: Received: from sous-sol.org ([216.99.217.87]:41674 "EHLO sequoia.sous-sol.org" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-FAIL) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1752146Ab1JUAu0 (ORCPT ); Thu, 20 Oct 2011 20:50:26 -0400 Content-Disposition: inline Sender: kvm-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: This feature hasn't been in use for some years now. The host side bits are deprecated for almost a year. The guest side would only get used on old hosts, and it's slower than shadow or hw assisted paging. Time to remove it.
