It sounds like Alex is considering KVM PPC's return value in this case (and
updating api.txt if appropriate) -- what say you on this patch?  It actually
brings kvmtool's KVM_RUN return val check in line with QEMU's (also "< 0") and
nothing PPC will run without it, currently.  (I'm about to repost a new series,
will include it for these reasons, until I hear more complaint ;) )


Cheers,


Matt
