Hi, folks In the past months, kvm/ia64 has been merged into linux mainline kernel with the help from community, and also get a relatively stable status. Cheers! Thanks for your effort!! You know, kvm/ia64 bits will be included in Linux-2.6.26 release. In the next stage, kvm/ia64 may be integrated into some commercial Linux OS, and before that, we need to ensure its stability and greats feature enabled for it. So, now we need your hands to join in the development for enhancing the features, and make it more and more stable in the next weeks. But compared with x86 side, we still have some good features to catch up. In this mail, I will list them and their dependcies in detail. If you are interest in one or more tasks, please reply the mail directly and let other guys to track their progress and know the task's holders. Welcome to join us!! Appreciate any effort from you! TODO List (draft): 1. Live Migration and Save restore. (Xiantao is working on it.) 2. Host-memory swapping. (Good and urgent feature to catch up.) 3. virto-io enabling. (Fast IO for kvm guests.) 4. Guest reboot and shutdown support. (Basic feature) 5. vt-d enabling. (Maybe share the code with x86 side, but only to implement ia64-specific side. Depend on VT-d platform for ia64) 6. superpage support for guest. 7. kvm trace enabling. If I omit some good features or you have some good proposals, please feel free to bring forward them! Thanks in advace for your support! :-) BTW. Kvm/ia64 mailing list has switched to kernel.org, and the sourceforge list has been dropped from now on.
