Does Lguest have SMP, usermode networking, and GUI support?


IIRC, yes, no, and no.

Are you talking about Documentation/lguest/lguest.c? How would you
suggest we unify our code with that?

It should be easy to have tools/kvm drive lguest - they're both virtio based. All you need to do is provide yet another ops structure to drive the two ABIs.

I guess lguest.c has to remain, as point of lguest was a simple teaching aid for virtualization (which doesn't work very well, as the techniques it uses are obsolete).
