Reply-To: qemu-devel@nongnu.org List-Id: qemu-devel.nongnu.org List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , To: qemu-devel@nongnu.org I am using QEMU (not KQemu) on AMD64 and I would gladly test KQemu on my computer. If you (Fabrice) could build KQemu for AMD64, I will inform you of any success or failure I experience. In the meantime, I'd suggest you provide a proper error message for users trying to build QEMU with KQemu support, since it is just not supported.
