I remember the discussion about KSM. First, the kernel developers were not
very happy with the approach, and second, there were some patent
implications with VMware.

Have these issues been resolved? Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to
stop KSM, I'm just wondering if I can get my hopes up again. I thought KSM
was a great idea and I'd love to get my hands on it.
