Not sure what you mean. On IBM POWER servers, the hardware's virtualization support is only accessible to an IBM-developed hypervisor that is packaged with the system. If you're saying Sparc is in the same position, I agree that's not very interesting. On the other hand if those features are available to us, there would be some pretty interesting kernel work to port KVM to use that functionality. -- Hollis Blanchard IBM Linux Technology Center -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
