And btw, I don't really understand what you're trying to accomplish
with this line of reasoning. We've tried both separate and shared
repository and the latter is much better from development point of
view.
This is not some random userspace project that uses the kernel system
calls. It's a hypervisor that implements virtio drivers, serial
emulation, and mini-BIOS. It's very close to the kernel which is why
it's such a good fit with the kernel tree.
I'd actually be willing to argue that from purely technical point of
view, KVM tool makes much more sense to have in the kernel tree than
perf does.
