Hi Lucas:
I'm still making kvm autotest on power machine. finally, I find a
architecture related bug. the problem is the tap interface can't up while
the autotest running. I find the ioctl ifreq struct is packed in wrong size
when up the tap. The problem will only show in a big-endian architecture
like power.(and no problem appears in x86). now the autotest is running on
power. I will send a patch to the mailing list when I have a well-configed
git.
Thanks
Best Regards
