Linus didn't reject it but postponed his decision to the next merge
window. We're going to send a pull request for 3.2 so we'd like the
code to be in linux-next.
As for changes, we've implemented rootfs over 9p with "kvm run"
booting to host filesystem "/bin/sh" by default. It still needs some
work and we hope to enable networking too. We also have patches to use
overlayfs so that the guest is able to use host filesystem in
copy-on-write manner.
