I am using CentOS 5.6 as a KVM host. My guests are running CentOS
5.6 with the only console being a virtual serial console. The guests

However, in order to send magic-sysrq from a serial port, I need to

I am using CentOS 5.5 with KVM as a host and have a need for one guest
to be able to have promiscuous read access to one port on the physical
host (which is an HP BL460 G6 blade server with Intel 2 port 1Gb
