10,234 is free but it would be good to know what device naming is
proposed. I imagine other folks would like to know why you aren't using
sysfs or similar or extending /dev/kvm ?
ksm was deliberately made independent of kvm. While there may or may
not be uses of ksm without kvm (you could run ordinary qemu, but no
one would do this in a production deployment), keeping them separate
helps avoid unnecessary interdependencies. For example all tlb
flushes are mediated through mmu notifiers instead of ksm hooking
directly into kvm.
Yes, beside, I do use sysfs for controlling the ksm behavior,
Ioctls are provided as easier way for application to register its memory.
