Changes from kvm-49: - fix smp_call_function_mask() emulation on preemptible kernels - move libkvm into own directory (Hollis Blanchard) - fix save/restore/migrate for new memory slot management (Uri Lublin) - compile fixes (Uri Lublin, me) - fix recursive locking on mmap() (Anthony Liguori) - remove some cr2 dependencies from x86 emulator - further simplify x86 emulator - more portability work (Carsten Otte, Hollis Blanchard) - Intel FlexPriority support (Sheng Yang) - fix dirty page tracking on aliased pages (Uri Lublin) Notes: If you use the modules bundled with kvm-50, 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.
