But there’s no device driver (or even procfs entry) to figure out
whether the system’s virtualised…

Granted, this is probably not that important. Thanks for fixing
(need still to test it… too few time…) the crash, though. I can
live with that and will just drop the idea to patch imvirt.

From what I understand, in Linux, user space is supposed to do
everything ;-) They used to have a webserver in the kernel, though.

In my specific case, just detect whether it’s emulated or not.

Oh. Sorry for the mis-understanding, then.

Great!
