[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/20] QEMU Accel patch

[Glauber Costa <gcosta@redhat.com>]

First of all, very sorry. I mistyped qemu's mailing list address. So this
message only reached kvm list and the people in CC. I'm resending, but this means
a lot of you will receive the messages twice. Mail is cheap... but sorry again anyway!

Introductory message follows:

Hi folks.

Here's a new version of the qemu accel patches. This version works with kqemu
1.4.0pre1 in my tests, and I feel it is close to be in inclusion state. Patches
are all split to ease review.

Those patches does not include any code for kvm. The reason is some parts of kvm
will need significant rework, and I'd rather do it once we're set up with those
interfaces, to avoid time waste. Furthermore, there's work on the radar, such as
pbrook's ongoing effort to make qemu more thread-friendly that would affect kvm
a lot (recall kvm uses threads for the vcpus, which heavily defines how the main loop
works, for instance), so I'd wait anyway.

However, I do have a PoC for kvm with _basic_ functionality, that can be seen
at http://glommer.net/kvm-accel-PoC

Comments are welcome.
