[ANNOUNCE] kvm-73 release

[Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>]

The big change is of course full swapping support, finally delivering 
the full range of Linux memory management operations to kvm.  You will 
need a 2.6.27 host to use this functionality, however.

Other noteworthy changes: speedups of both virtio-net and qcow2 with 
cache=off.  Two important works-in-progress: device assignment (not 
usable yet, as dma support is still missing) and the real-mode emulation 
framework.

- merge qemu-svn
   - improve qcow2 performance with cache=off
   - ide fixes

Notes:
     If you use the modules bundled with kvm-73, you can use any version
of Linux from 2.6.16 upwards.  You may also use kvm-73 userspace with
the kvm modules provided by Linux 2.6.22 or above.  Some features may
only be available in newer releases.
