Changes from kvm-35: - support guests with more than 2GB of RAM on 64-bit hosts (Izik Eidus) - fix rare host oops on guest context switch - avoid smp_call_function_single() warning on suspend/resume - more real mode emulator work (Nitin A Kamble) - Windows x64 support (Sheng Yang) - close minor signal handling race - carry bios in kvm source tree for easier maintenance - fix -std-vga (Uri Lublin) - advertise kvm in vnc window title (Matthew Kent) - fix Windows SMP guests consuming cpu time when idle (Igor Lvovsky) Notes: If you use the modules bundled with kvm-36, you can use any version of Linux from 2.6.9 upwards. If you use the modules bundled with Linux 2.6.20, you need to use kvm-12. If you use the modules bundled with Linux 2.6.21, you need to use kvm-17. Modules from Linux 2.6.22 and up will work with any kvm version from kvm-22. Some features may only be available in newer releases. For best performance, use Linux 2.6.23-rc2 or later as the host. http://kvm.qumranet.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
