Dear List,
I'm trying to set up a testbed for batch systems using qemu-kvm. So far,
I've created two machines, a master ("torque") and an execution host
("mom") for use with torque. I'm using the following command lines to
start up the virtual machines:

Hi,
My main objection to ioctls is that you change states based on event

chr_write while not ready or not connected.
So what I'd rather see is a move to an API that was connection oriented.
For instance, we could treat Cha

Several devices rely on their reset() function being called to
initialize device state, e1000 and rtl8139 in particular. When
the device is hot added, the reset doesn't occur, often leaving

As discussed on today's call, here is a prototype to support snapshots
inherantance in qcow2 and to use uuid as identification mechanism.
Bugs/Limitations:
* 'info snapshots' output is huge
Displaying one item per line seams cumbersome. Maybe we should have two
commands,
like lvscan and lvdisplay

Added support for the CP15c9-CR12 register(Performance Monitor Control
Register). Calls to this register are being implemented in the ARM Linux
kernel. The register has several bit fields, as described in the ARM
technical reference manual, but right now I only implemented it

I'm trying to get qemu running with vhost enabled but I seem to be running

That's true, but extending fwcfg doesn't fit into the overall
