kvm-25 release
Regular readers of this column will not be surprised to hear that kvm-25 is much faster than earlier versions.
Changes since kvm-24:
- massive performance increase (Eddie Dong)
- regenerate bios from latest bochs sources, hopefully fixing a regression with some guests
- some testsuite work (Anthony Lihuori, Eddie Dong, me)
- minor fixes (various)
Notes:
If you use the modules from kvm-25, you can use any version of Linux
from 2.6.9 upwards.
If you use the modules from Linux 2.6.20, you need to use kvm-12. If you use the modules from Linux 2.6.21, you need to use kvm-17.
API/ABI stability is planned for Linux 2.6.22.

You should remove ASM style comments from bootstrap.S ("# ")
