kvm-18 release
This is mostly to fix the 32-bit Linux guest breakage in kvm-17.
Changes from kvm-17:
- merged new userspace API
- revert the optimization which killed some 32-bit Linux guests
- reboot support on Intel hosts (AMD are already supported)
- better timekeeping under load (Uri Lublin)
- other minor fixes and cleanups
Note that if you use the modules from Linux 2.6.20, you need to use kvm-12. You can use kvm-18 with Linux 2.6.20, provided you use the external module included in kvm-18. API/ABI stability is planned for Linux 2.6.22.

Well, almost. Knoppix 5.0 and 5.2 work now, but 5.1.1 still hangs with a black framebuffer (no penguin logo) and a load of 100%.
Everything else still works as fine as with kvm-17.
Great work!

Do you have msr complaints in dmesg? Can you try booting the guest with nmi_watchdog=0?

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Yep. After a while, I get:
kvm: emulating exchange as write kvm: unhandled wrmsr: 0xc1 inject_general_protection: rip 0xc01154d0
With nmi_watchdog=0 on the kernel command line, the system boots and all the messages are gone. :-)
