The big changes in this release come from upstream qemu: much improved
usb support. You can now have qemu automatically assign usb devices to
the guest, and performance and reliability should both be improved.
For ia64 users, this is the first release that supports building the kvm
external modul

Raise UDC (Unexpected Disconnect) when a large enough number of
instructions has been executed by the SCRIPTS processor. This "solution"
is much simpler than temporarily interrupting execution.
This remedies the situation with Windows which downloads SCRIPTS code
that busy loops on guest main mem

It reproduces rapidly for me, and it did after adding the missing flush
to kvm_mmu_zap_page().

Doesn't apply, likely due to coding style fixes I made to the previous
patch.

Convert gfn_to_pfn() to use get_user_pages_fast(), which can do lockless
pagetable lookups. Kernel compilation on 4-way guest is 3.7% faster on
VMX.
Andrea, please review (especially mmu notifiers synchronization).

This patch updates the virtio device methods to provide hooks for setting and
getting the config. This is needed for ballooning since the balloon driver
uses config changes to signal changes in the balloon amount. We also add a
method to signal that we have changed the config.
Signed-off-by: Ant
This patch adds a ballooning infrastructure to QEMU. This includes a pair of
monitor commands, balloon and info balloon, to balloon a guest and to query
the guest's balloon status.

Hi,
Given a kernel tree originally built using the O= method, what's the suggested
way to build the external modules ?
I've tried giving configure a --kerneldir of both the original tree and the
O= tree, along with passing the O= option to make and/or configure. So far
without success.

Hi all,
From kvm-74, the building process of kvm-ia64 is the same as x86 side. It
means kvm-ia64 is very easy to be used now.
Still existing issues (2 have been fixed. 3 are in debuging):
1. [FIXED, not checked in] guest domain can not boot up network
2. [
A few quick notes:
- The extboot.bin regression from kvm-71 (SCSI drives being
unavailable after reboot) is still outstanding.
- kvm (and presumably qemu) doesn't check for fd= parameters pointing
to file descriptor numbers which are not, in fact, open; this results in
select() spinning on
