No plan that I know of.  Is the LSI scsi device not supported by Solaris?

Yeah, there was a short thread about it last July
(http://www.mail-archive.com/kvm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg01633.html).  The
jist of it is that 64-bit OpenSolaris no longer supports the 53c895a
SCSI controller.  According to that thread, the 53c1010 is what VMWare
uses, and OpenSolaris still uses that.


I see.  That sucks.

I don't really understand how a VM exposes a virtual device to a
hosted OS, but I assume that it involves looking at a driver for a
piece of hardware and then writing some code that emulates the
behaviour expected by that driver?

The best way is to look at the device spec and write the emulation to conform to that.

I would think AHCI would be a
great way to go, if that's the case, since it would be an actual
implementation of a standard instead of an arbitrary card.  Does kvm
use the qemu source for its drivers, or is there a separate source
tree for it now?

We use the qemu source (we have our own branch, but it's very close to qemu upstream).
