FYI: WinKVM (Windows kernel-based virtual machine)

Hi there,

I have ported Linux KVM to the Microsoft Windows XP and already succeeded in
executing Linux guest OS which is attached in QEMU. I have named this virtual
machine WinKVM.

I introduced a daring and original means to develop WinKVM. More specifically,
I implemented a software abstraction layer that can translate from
Linux API into
WinKVM Native API on Microsoft Windows kernel. KVM source code which is not
 patched, is linked with my software abstraction layer when building WinKVM.
So, I did not fix KVM itself. I only prepared the software abstraction
layer to build
 WinKVM.

This is because KVM development speed is so fast. If I simply read KVM source
code and only regenerate the Windows driver that is similar to be KVM, I can
not follow to the KVM developers. It is hard to reprogram KVM when it
has update.

So, I have decided to implement the abstraction layer that emulate Linux kernel
on Microsoft Windows.

I have not yet prepared the amenities which are related to WinKVM such as
document and website and so on. But I have github repository
http://github.com/ddk50/winkvm/

I would appreciate your feedback.

Regards,
Kazushi Takahashi.
