We'd like to see this happened as soon as possible. The problem is prioritizing and the important fact that the KVM's interface with the user/Qemu is not yet finalized and changes frequently. It can be merged or parallel to the Kqemu api, although it won't be identical. > > > > I've looked at KVM homepage (http://kvm.sourceforge.net/) and it's a > > kernel module, so I think this can be some kind of replacement for > > KQEmu, no? > > Will QEmu/KQEmu support this? > > Isn't KVM more like a kqemu which uses VT/Pacifica so that it runs > processes "a bit more native"? That's how I understood it... > The differences between the 2 are the following: - KVM runs the code on the native CPU using VT/Pacifica. This is true both for user mode code and kernel mode code of the guest. - KVM cannot run over platform without VT/Pacfica support while Kqemu can. - The Kqemu does not use VT/Pacifica abilities. It runs the user mode guest code natively while the kernel mode guest code is emulated within the kernel. > Though I'm wondering why this project apparently didn't announce itself Sorry for that, some of the Qemu developers did know about the KVM & Qemu interop.
