AIO eventfd support is a relatively recently added enhancement to AIO, is it not? Applications which continue to use the pre-May07 AIO features will continue to work as before (they darn well better). So for such applications, AIO=y/EVENTFD=n kernels are usable and useful, and eliminating this option is a loss? Either way, I believe that this change should be unbundled from the unrelated KVM one so we can handle it separately. -- 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
