Hi Marc,

Again, I absolutely oppose this horror. This is internal to KVM,
and we want to be able to change this without having to mess
with your own code that we cannot test anyway.

What if we start using the extra fields that you don't populate
as they mean nothing to you? Or add a backpointer to the kvm
structure to do fancy accounting?

You have your own hypervisor, that's well and good. Since your
main argument is that it is supposed to be standalone, make it
*really* standalone and don't use KVM as a prop.


Agreed, same comments were made earlier too. I would prefer that GenieZone have its own identify rather than sharing the APIs/data-structures here.
