Subject: KVM paravirtualization on non-VMX/SVM CPUs?
Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2007 17:37:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <45FEBC41.6060802@wpkg.org> (raw)
In January, Ingo Molnar announced "KVM paravirtualization for Linux"[1].
The announcement mentions "support for the hardware cr3-cache feature of
Intel-VMX CPUs" and "i only tested this on 32-bit VMX".
Because of this, I'm not sure how to understand it:
1) KVM paravirtualization means that it will be possible to use KVM on
non-VMX/SVM CPUs (much like Xen)?
2) KVM paravirtualization means paravirtualized drivers only (net, disk
etc.), but it will still run only on VMX/SVM-capable CPUs?
Which one is true? First, or second?
