Regarding stable, it should be easy to backport the patches to 2.6.34-rc6, but for 2.6.33 and earlier, it's murky. And we certainly don't have the means to test them. So please prepare _tested_ patchsets (git is fine) for 2.6.3[432]. I suggest you hold off for 2.6.3[32] until their next release, since there are a lot of kvm patches in review for them. In general patches should be prepared against kvm.git kvm-updates/2.6.foo; we'll keep them up to date against stable. Longer term, we need kvm-autotest support for nsvm, and unit tests in qemu-kvm/kvm/user/test. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function
