This patchset updates the kvm userspace interface to what I hope will

the interface later. The patches address performance and cleanliness
concerns.
Searching the mailing list I figured that as soons as the interface seems
to be stable, kvm should/would switch to a system call based interface.
I assume the userspace interface might still change a lot, especially if
kvm is ported to new architectures.
But the general question is: do you still plan to switch to a syscall
interface?
I don't have any present plans for that. Maybe when the interface
starts to evolve at a slower pace, or if it is shown to be significantly
faster.
Not that interface stabilization here doesn't mean a freeze; it means
that backwards compatibility starts when this gets merged.
