Hi,
Looks pretty interesting! some comments:
- patch 4/7 hasn't made it to the list? - it would be useful for reviewing this if you could post example code making use of the /dev/kvm interfaces - they seem fairly complex. - why do it this way rather than through a virtual machine monitor such as Xen? what do you gain from having the virtual machines encapsulated as Linux processes?
Cheers, Muli
