kvm-35 refuses to load on Intel Core (not Core 2) processors, so this
release is mainly to fix that unhappy regression.
Changes since kvm-34:
- fix kvm refusing to load on Core processors (Glauber de Oliveira Costa)
- improve qemu monitor handling CR/LF sequences (Jim Paris)
- fix compile warning

hi ppl,
I am grateful for the help and tips I've been given here on the earlier
thread.
I just want to summarize the bits I've collected,
please confirm :)
On an up-to-date Ubuntu 7.04 machine:
- install kvm+qemu packages
- install the gcc-3.4 package (hopefully it will not overwrite my gcc 4.x ?

Hi,
in view of the upcoming architecture ports, this is a little cleanup
patch that renames the current "_arch" to "_x86"
e.g. kvm_arch_ops -> kvm_x86_ops
I discussed with some people about names like kvm_x86_arch_ops or
kvm_subarch_ops, ... but at the end we thought that "arch" has a special

Since I am close, I will probably make at least one more v3 drop "as is"

These two patches fix CR8 support for x64 Windows. Now when writing to
CR8 in the guest OS, we exit to userspace and update tpr in qemu apic
emulation.
We can boot x64 Windows XP with these patches now.

I modified the patch as per your suggestions. Attached is the update

hi..
so I've compiled kvm-35 on Ubuntu 7.04.
i really had NO troubles, thanks to Koen and his great apt-get list.
and indeed now when I was running, I had the "QEMU\KVM" banner.
so I reinstalled RH9.0.

If you use -net user (which is the default) and you have Samba
installed in the host, you can use -smb
and see that folder in:
\\10.0.2.4\qemu
Check QEMU command line options:
-tftp prefix
