Hi Gerd,

lguest64 I'll punt to Glauber. For kvm-lite, frankly there wasn't enough
interest, and I wasn't going to continue it by myself: IBM certainly (and correctly) sees virtio as more important.

Cheers,
Rusty.

lguest64 has a working version, but is a little bit old. I was in the middle of an effort to merge it with lguest32 (If I can call it this way to avoid ambiguity ;-)) in linus tree, but I was preempted due to higher privileged tasks gettin into the stack. Same reason is keeping rostedt away.
