Notes:
If you use the modules bundled with kvm-78, you can use any version
of Linux from 2.6.16 upwards. You may also use kvm-78 userspace with the kvm modules provided by Linux 2.6.25 or above. Some features may only be available in newer releases.

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
signature is too narrow to contain.

Can anyone tell me if these migration fixes now allow for live migration of VM's with more than 4 GB of RAM?

I think the new migration code fixes this. Anthony, is this right?

error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function

It does. It also fixes > 4GB guests save/restore.
