What's next, throwing your jvm into the kernel because you like some kernel helpers? We've been through this a few times - there is no reason why a tool using the KVM ioctls should be considered close to the kernel - all other users get away just fine staying out of tree, and that has helped to keep the ABI stable. This sounds more like you should create a libkernelutil with useful data structures we use in the kernel for userspace programs. I'd love to use that for a few projects, btw. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
