The package is available for download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/kvm/files/kvm-kmod/3.1/kvm-kmod-3.1.tar.bz2/download KVM changes since kvm-kmod-3.0b: - initial version of VMX nesting - steal time support (inform guest about the time it was scheduled out) - faster MMIO - additional CPU features exposed to the guest, most importantly SMEP kvm-kmod changes: - fix for cross-building kvm-kmod - Drop unused PROCESSOR variable from config.mak As kernel.org is still out of reach for me, I'm hosting the kvm-kmod git tree now on my server: git://git.kiszka.org/kvm-kmod.git http://git.kiszka.org/kvm-kmod.git This will likely remain the primary repository because it's also not suffering from the excessively long mirroring latencies kernel.org had to cope with. Those latencies made buildbot runs that require public git access really unhandy. Jan [1] http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Getting_the_kvm_kernel_modules
