Luvalley is a Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) spawned from the KVM
project. Its part of source codes are derived from KVM to virtualize
CPU instructions and memory management unit (MMU). However, its
overall architecture is completely different from KVM, but somewhat
like Xen. Luvalley runs outside of Linux, just like Xen's
architecture. Any operating system, including Linux, could be used as
Luvalley's scheduler, memory
manager, physical device driver provider and virtual IO device
emulator. Currently, Luvalley supports Linux and Windows. That is to
say, one may run Luvalley to boot a Linux or Windows, and then run
multiple virtualized operating systems on such Linux or Windows.
If you are interested in Luvalley project, you may download the source
codes from

This release (i.e., luvalley-2) updated Qemu in both Linux and
Windows. So the limitations of the previous release (i.e., luvalley-1)
have been partially eliminated. For example, the Qemu in Windows
allows to create disk images and install gueest operating systems.
This release has 4 tarballs:
* luvalley-2.tgz: this is the source codes of the kernel part of
Luvalley, which should be compiled in Linux. It is running below any
operating system to provide virtualization extension for Intel's
X86/32 computers. See the README file of the tarball for how to
compile and run Luvalley.
* qemu-linux.tgz: this is the source codes of the modified Qemu for
running virtualized guest OSs in Linux. It is derived from Qemu of
KVM-83. See the README file of the tarball for how to compile and run.
* qemu-windows.tgz: this is the source codes of the modified Qemu for
running virtualized guest OSs in Windows. It is derived from
Qemu-0.10.2. See the README file of the tarball for how to build and
run.
* WindowsXP-Bins.rar: this is the pre-compiled binaries for running
in Windows XP. It should be uncompressed in Windows XP operating
system with WinRAR or other programs that supports .rar format. See
the README file of the package for how to install and run in Windows
XP.
