[...] That claim is curious to me - the AlacrityVM host is 90% based on KVM code, so how can it not be about KVM? I just checked, most of the changes that AlacrityVM host does to KVM is in adding the host side interfaces for these guest drivers: virt/kvm/Kconfig | 11 + virt/kvm/coalesced_mmio.c | 65 +++--- virt/kvm/coalesced_mmio.h | 1 + virt/kvm/eventfd.c | 599 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ virt/kvm/ioapic.c | 118 +++++++-- virt/kvm/ioapic.h | 5 + virt/kvm/iodev.h | 55 +++-- virt/kvm/irq_comm.c | 267 ++++++++++++++------- virt/kvm/kvm_main.c | 127 ++++++++-- virt/kvm/xinterface.c | 587 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 10 files changed, 1649 insertions(+), 186 deletions(-) [ stat for virt/kvm/ taken as of today, AlacrityVM host tree commit 84afcc7 ] So as far as kernel code modifications of AlacrityVM goes, it's very much about KVM. > [...] You are perhaps confusing this with the hypervisor-side discussion, > of which there is indeed much disagreement. Are the guest drivers living in a vacuum? The whole purpose of the AlacrityVM guest drivers is to ... enable AlacrityVM support, right? So how can it be not about KVM? Gregory, it would be nice if you worked _much_ harder with the KVM folks before giving up. It's not like there's much valid technical disagreement that i can identify in any of the threads - the strongest one i could identify was: "I want to fork KVM so please let me do it, nobody is harmed, choice is good".
