[uml-devel] UML and KVM

[Erik Paulson]

Jeff -

I see that you're going to be giving a talk at linux.conf.au in a
few days on integrating UML and KVM:

http://virtminiconf.linux.hp.com/program/uml-kvm-and-hardware-virtualization

This sounds pretty cool - is there a paper to go along with it, or 
will the slides (or, even better, a video of the talk) be available for 
those of us who can't make it to Oz?

Your abstract mentions KVM needs to support paravirtualzation first - do
Ingo's patches provide what you need:

Thanks, and safe travels!

I'll make the slides, with notes available - that will approximate the
talk if you stand in the front of a room and read them out loud with
the slides on a screen behind you.

No, that seems to be just memory management stuff.  What I need is
much simpler - VMCALL needs to be acceptable as a VMEXIT reason and
returned from the KVM_RUN ioctl.  That's not present in the version of
KVM that I have here (which I pulled a couple of weeks ago).
