Hi,
So now you can run Linux VMs on Linux on z/VM on LPAR on zSeries!
Cool. Don't have a zSeries though ...
I always thought that's commodity hardware .. oh well :-)
The patchset is based on Uli's S390x userspace emulation patches.
There's not
really that much shared functionality, but I didn't want to
reimplement the
configure wheels. So make sure to have his patches applied first.
Hmm. How hard would it be to wind up the cpu emulation bits so I
can run s390x virtual machines on my x86 box?
It's feasible, but currently not implemented. I also don't know enough
of the s390x internals to do it as is :-). On S390 the hardware and OS
handle most of the virtualization parts themselves.
Uli, any comments on this?
Either way - let's focus on getting it working with KVM first!
