Any objections? Rusty. === Having KVM appear in the middle of "drivers" is kinda strange, and having it alone under a menu called "virtualization" doubly so. 1) Move the "Virtualization" menu into the arch-specific i386 and x86-64 Kconfig. 2) Add a help message to the menu. 3) Move CONFIG_PARAVIRT under CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION 4) Move lguest into same menu.

Hi Linus, First attempt at git, so please pull carefully. I've just put the three i386 boot changes in the repo for the moment. If this works I'll pile on the 44 lguest patches. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux-2.6-lguest.git Documentation/i386/boot.txt | 34 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++- arch/x86/boot/compressed/head_32.S | 15 ++++++++++-

Lguest drivers need to default to "Y" otherwise they're never selected for new builds. (We don't bother prompting, because they're less than 4k combined, and implied by selecting lguest support).

Rusty, ok, I think I've addressed your comments so far here. Coming next: - TSO - tap support Thanks! --- This implements vhost: a kernel-level backend for virtio, The main motivation for this work is to reduce virtualization overhead for virtio by removing system calls on data path, without guest changes. For virtio-net, this removes up to 4 system calls per packet: vm exit for kick,
