If there are only 3, you'll need to figure out how to isolate guest kernel and guest userspace from each other. > (b) qemu starts the VM and somehow ( i dont know yet, how?) , starts > my code in processor guest state Why are you asking us? You are the processor expert... :) Qemu calls into KVM via an ioctl, and processor-specific KVM code (that's you) somehow jumps into guest mode. -- Hollis Blanchard IBM Linux Technology Center -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
