[ANNOUNCE] kvm-25 release

[ANNOUNCE] kvm-25 release

[Avi Kivity]

Regular readers of this column will not be surprised to hear that kvm-25
is much faster than earlier versions.

Changes since kvm-24:
- massive performance increase (Eddie Dong)
- regenerate bios from latest bochs sources, hopefully fixing a
regression with some guests
- some testsuite work (Anthony Lihuori, Eddie Dong, me)
- minor fixes (various)

Notes:
  If you use the modules from kvm-25, 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.

  API/ABI stability is planned for Linux 2.6.22.

Compilation fails on my system (Debian etch on x86_64)

gcc -I /home/vivierl/kvm-25/kernel/include -MMD -MF test/.bootstrap.d -g
-fomit-frame-pointer -Wall -m64  -fno-stack-protector   -std=gnu99
-ffreestanding -c -nostdlib -o test/bootstrap.o test/bootstrap.S
test/bootstrap.S:2:3: error: invalid preprocessing directive #minimal

You should remove ASM style comments from bootstrap.S ("#  ")

Regards,
Laurent
