KVM call minutes for 2017-03-14

Hi

After a long while, we have had a kvm call.

See the thread for the agenda for things that were discussed. My notes are a bit clear because I was also partipating.

Please, reply with more things.

- What to do with qemu to evolve?
Making it more modular (seems to be a good idea) more configurable (decide what we compile in or not)
* xen and kvm can already be compiled out
* there are patches posted for tcg, but not upstream

- how widely use is kvmtool?

- Change to a different language?
* what we want to achieve wit that?
Better support to detect "errors"
Less boilerplate code to have to write
Easier language for writing emulation code

- Can we do anything better than more documentation for people that want to write a driver?

- Should we use more upstream libraries? Should we develop more inside qemu?

- Object model?
* Was QOM a good decision? Better to move to glib model?

- Documentation? What format are we going to use
There are patches to be integrated.

- What can we do to help device model writers?

Thanks, Juan.
