I've lost track of the conversation, are we currently proposing the accelerator default to be "kvm" (as per the original patch you quote here) or "kvm:tcg" ? I'm not entirely sure which I prefer from an ARM perspective For some time to come and for a lot of targets (ie any target CPU except A15), having a default of "kvm" is going to cause existing working commandlines to stop working. [I expect that ARM-host qemu binaries will be built with CONFIG_KVM once ARM KVM support lands, but the same binary will be run on hosts without virtualization extensions.] On the other hand, perhaps there just aren't really very many people who run QEMU on ARM hosts, and so we can ignore them :-) -- PMM -- 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
