[PATCH] KVM on VMI

2008-07-09 Thread Alexander Graf
Hi, I more or less accidently stumbled across a problem when compiling KVM on the VMI-enabled kernel. Even though that's pretty much useless right now, I think there might be a day, VMware will emulate VM extensions, in VMs, so we should probably not keep KVM from running under VMI. The prob
