You are wrong on three counts:
- As I mentioned it in my first mail to you this is not the
same as 'vm run': you still have a qemu-root.img while
tools/kvm does not ...
'vm run' works without having any disk image around, it just
uses the existing distro binaries and boots them, sharing the
host file system.
- automatic, transparent host filesystem sharing is another
useful feature: I can copy files in/out of the virtual
machine using the host filesystem.
- transparent networking is up and running straight away
But yeah, I guess if you ignore enough key tools/kvm/ features
then you will eventually be right: it's really just the same as
Qemu and has no place in the kernel repo ;-)
Thanks,
Ingo
