The wikipedia page on KVM says that ports are underway to other non-x86 processors. However, I can't find any mention of this on the KVM wiki. Do such ports exist, and if so, where can I find out about them? Please respond directly, as I do not subscribe to the mailing list.

Thank you very much!
Paul

The ports are currently being developed in top secret underground bunkers of certain large companies. 66.7% are being developed by a certain 3-letter company you may be familiar with. The other 33.3% were undertaken by a large microprocessor vendor.

The ports will be outed on the kvm forum, you can glean some information from the agenda here: http://www.qumranet.com/agenda.php

Hi Paul, I'm one of the people thinking about PowerPC support. We are specifically targeting embedded PowerPC though, not server. We don't have much code at this point (and certainly nothing functional), but if you're interested we've put some design discussion onto the wiki, and we can discuss more here...
