Hmm, you have a problem there. Linus is very likely going to cheerfully tell the Xen and KVM developers to duke it out in a bloodbath, and to not forget to bring AlacrityVM into the fray either. He could care less for virtualization, and he is likely to refuse to merge anything non-trivial until the "virtualization crazy people" manage to reach a consensus on a sane API. Look for the AlacrityVM threads in LKML if you doubt me. Note: I am not defending KVM. I don't agree with their main ideology (that their hardware-emulating approach is the One True Way). But I can well see why Linus decided to take that instance. Xen's track record from hell on getting their act cleaned up for upstream merging is also going to get in the way.
