What method do you mean exactly? > But even so, I am still thinking we have to come out a solution for checking IA64 code into existing KVM upstream tree , because KVM infrastructure in mainline Linux may been a long way to go. Moreover, we also have no method to avoid the abstraction for existing code to support cross-architecture framework before what you pointed gets happen. For example, kvm_main.c is also required to split as common interface for all architectures. So, I think it has no big conflicts between our proposal and the final KVM infrastructure in mainline Linux. How about your ideas? :) > The powerpc people had some patches to make kvm_main arch independent. We should work on that base. To avoid a dependency on the x86 merge, we can start by working withing drivers/kvm/, for example creating drivers/kvm/x86.c and drivers/kvm/ia64.c. Later patches can move these to arch/*/. -- Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic. _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
