Thanks for giving me the chance to screw even more things up. :) Thanks also go to Siemens Corporate Technology and Siemens Enterprise Communications for sponsoring my work on kvm-kmod. > As there are now many different sources of kvm kernel modules to choose > from, I wrote up a page that describes the various releases and what > they are suited for.

And besides those releases, I will try to keep the kvm-kmod.git in sync with latest kvm.git so that developers can test most bleeding-edge kvm on not that much bleeding host kernels (I'm one of those). At this chance I would like to underline that the quality of kvm-kmod support of course continues to depend on patch contributions. So if you are posting a new kvm feature that may require compat wrapping or you discover some breakage, please consider posting a corresponding update of kvm-kmod as well. TiA! To help detecting breakages, I've set up a builtbot [1] that checks kvm-mod against its officially supported kvm version as well as the next branch in kvm.git (the former on commits, the latter on a nightly basis). That forecast already promises the next rain [2] - time to go home...
