Hi Linus,

Please consider pulling from

ssh://master.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/penberg/linux.git
kvm-tool-for-linus

to merge the Native Linux KVM tool to Linux 3.1.

[ The changes to 9p headers were already merged but show up in the pull
request. ]

The goal of this tool is to provide a clean, from-scratch, lightweight
KVM host
tool implementation that can boot Linux guest images with no BIOS
dependencies
and with only the minimal amount of legacy device emulation. The primary
focus
of the tool is to Linux but there are already people on working on
supporting
GRUB and other operating systems.

lguest already does this and lives in the kernel.

So purely from a kernel perspective, why have two tools in the tree that do the same thing? Shouldn't you at least unify the userspace with the lguest userspace?

Regards,

Anthony Liguori
