Ok, I will look for the relevant docs.

FWIW, Im using virtme, in case youre familiar with it.
it is using QEMU/KVM, virtme is my 1st foray into this kernel magic.

If you see the relevant setting, please shout out.

btw, Id be happy to post the code here, hopefully fix it with advice/help,
and eventually submit it.

so thanks in advance ;-)
