Not much has happened since 2.6.33-rc6, though. KVM changes since kvm-kmod-2.6.33-rc6: - PIT: control word is write-only (fixes side-effects of spurious reads) - kvmclock: count total_sleep_time when updating guest clock (requires >= 2.6.32.9 as host, falls back to unfixed version otherwise) kvm-kmod changes: - warn about kvmclock issues across host suspend/resume - detect host kernel extra version to make use of fixes in stable series See [1] for the delta to 2.6.32. I also released kvm-kmod-2.6.32.9 with basically the same changes. That may be the last release based on that kernel, but nothing is set in stone yet (specifically as we already maintain kvm-kmod-2.6.32 internally for a customer).
