kvm-kmod-2.6.32.7
Yet another stable update for kvm-kmod-2.6.32. This one comes with a bunch of smaller KVM fixes. They are mostly targeting rare corner cases or making the kernel interface more robust against mad user space. But one also fixing a small memory leak per created VCPU.
On the kvm-kmod framework side, we have some some improvements for packagers (as I had to go through this pain myself) and we now deliver kvm_para.h, so far only interesting for bleeding-edge qemu (qemu-kvm still comes with its own copies). Longer changelog below.
