One question is what to call these releases, though. I'd like to keep the kernel part synced with 2.6.x.y for as long as that's maintained. Perhaps we can call these releases kvm-stable-x.y (though it would cause confusion with kvm-xx). So, users of kvm-stable-x.y would be running the same code as users running Linux-2.6.x.y with the bundled kvm modules. -- I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this signature is too narrow to contain.
