So the plan is:
- get the /dev/kvm ABI into 2.6.22
- implement smp
- add another arch
- move to a syscall based interface in parallel; userspace should work
with both
- deprecate the old ABI and external modules.
I would also like to add using arbitrary vmas as guest memory

Right. I agree it's more natural to associate a vcpu with a task
instead of a vcpu being an independent entry. We'd still need a

What benefit would a syscall interface have?
Another thing is that this patch set already introduces a way to pass a
sigset. Passing a sigset to a device node is sort of strange.
The sigset is passed to the device node just for safekeeping, as it
doesn'
