[PATCH v2] KVM: MAINTAINERS: note that linux-kvm.org isn't current

[Randy Dunlap]

www.linux-kvm.org is not kept current. It contains antiquated
and historical information. Don't send people to it for current
information on KVM.

It's definitely stale, though unless Red Hat (presumed hoster) plans on decomissioning
the site, I'd prefer to keep the reference and instead improve the site.  We (Google)
are planning on committing resources to update KVM documentation that doesn't belong
in the kernel itself, and updating www.linux-kvm.org instead of creating something new
seems like a no-brainer.  I can't promise an updates will happen super quickly, but I
will do what I can to make 'em happen sooner than later.

Paolo?

Thanks for the reply, Sean.
I agree with your preferred plans and look forward to seeing them begin. :)

We don't plan to decommission the website (especially not the old KVM 
Forum content), though we might move it over to the same 
(container-based) setup as wiki.qemu.org.

What content do you have in mind that doesn't fit in the kernel 
Documentation/ tree?

Paolo

Mostly developer focused stuff, e.g. using KVM to test/debug kernels and/or KVM
itself, using 9PFS to hoist modules from into a VM without having to install the
kernel in the guest image, in-depth walkthroughs of various code flows (e.g. how
KVM takes an EPT violation and turns that into a mapping), etc.
