Thanks. I was thinking about kvm-unit-tests, but the issue is that it
would also be a copy. And just like with kernel headers, it would be
ideal to keep them in-sync. The advantage of the kernel headers is that
it's much easier to check and fix diffs with them. On the other hand, as
you say, there would not be any #ifdef stuff with kvm=unit-tests. Please
let me know what you think.

I think the kvm-unit-tests implementation is superior to the kernel
implementation, but that's probably because I suggested it. Still, I
think there's an argument to be made that selftests, unlike
kvm-unit-tests, are part of the kernel distribution and should be
consistent with the kernel where possible.

Paolo?

I also prefer the kvm-unit-tests implementation, for what it's worth... Let's see what the code looks like?
