paravirtualized block devices

paravirtualized block devices

[Cam Macdonell]

Hi,

I'm interested in the performance of paravirtualized block devices under 
KVM.  I've seen some previous posts about various patches.  I was 
wondering what the current state of their development is and where I 
could find a simple how-to to get them set up?

I realize this request may be vague, I'm a bit of a noob to KVM, if I 
can provide further details please let me know.

Thanks,
Cam

Arjan van de Ven was developing such drivers pair. It should be part of
Ingo's -rt tree.
