Please use git send-email in the future for correct threading of the messages. I don't see patches for enabling posted interrupts? This can improve both assigned and virtual interrupt delivery. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
