[ANNOUNCE] kvm-82 release

[Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>]

This release adds support for nested virtualization, a feature which 
allows you to run kvm (and possibly other hypervisors) inside a guest. 
This is an experimental feature and is only available on AMD hosts.

There are fixes included for a couple of minor vulnerabilities: one for 
the slirp stack (-net user), which is not usually used in production, 
and another in the vnc server, which allows malicious users to cause a 
VM to hang.

Changes from kvm-81:
- merge qemu-svn
   - uuid support
   - fix CVE-2007-5729 (slirp vulnerability)
   - fix CVE-2008-2382 (vnc denial of service)

   - pci subsystem id for pci devices
     - this will cause Windows guest to rediscover hardware

Notes:
     If you use the modules bundled with kvm-82, you can use any version
of Linux from 2.6.16 upwards.  You may also use kvm-81 userspace with
the kvm modules provided by Linux 2.6.25 or above.  Some features may
only be available in newer releases.

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
signature is too narrow to contain.
