Any plans to rebase kvm to current qemu at the moment ?
Hi,
while working on the embedded powerpc port for kvm we have a lot of dependencies on current qemu 0.9.0 code for ppc support. Internally we currently run with a modified qemu, but eventually strive for integration with kvm-userspace. Therefor I wanted to ask if there are already detailed plans (if any) regarding the re-base of kvm-userspace to the new qemu source?

I'm currently debating this. On the one hand, upstream qemu has a lot of fixes and new goodies. On the other hand, we still haven't recovered completely from the lapic merge and I don't want to rock the boat further.
I'll try to merge in the next few days and see what breaks.

Hi Avi,
We also the similar problems, when we enable kvm/ipf. You know,
Qemu doesn't work on IPF both at host and guest sides.
So, we have some changes, and new-added stuffs to current Qemu code. Do you think which tree we should push them to? Qemu upstream or kvm-userspace?
Thanks
Xiantao

qemu-upstream is best for changes that would benefit regular qemu. Changes that are only good for kvm should be in kvm-userspace.
