Package: kvm Version: 72+dfsg-1 Severity: wishlist
Hi, Is it possible to package kvm-73? According to the changelog it has fixes for compatibility with the 2.6.26 kernel: - fix 2.6.26 host support (Nikola Ciprich) Full changes since kvm-72: - merge qemu-svn - improve qcow2 performance with cache=off - ide fixes - ia64 external module (Xiantao Zhang) - external module compatibility with 2.6.27 hosts - fix sysenter msrs save/restore (Alexander Graf) - fix 2.6.26 host support (Nikola Ciprich) - fix linux-user build (Philippe Gerum) - virtio-net speedup (Mark McLoughlin) - fix ./configure with multiple arguments - support Windows hibernation on non-FlexPriority hosts - fix makefile dependencies (Sheng Yang) - fix compiler warnings (Jan Kiszka) - work around dhclient checksum offload brokenness (Anthony Liguori) - full swapping support (Andrea Arcangeli) - needs 2.6.27 hosts - internal irq ack notification api (Marcelo Tosatti, Amit Shah, Ben-Ami Yassour, me) - fix pit timer interrupt injection logic (Marcelo Tosatti) - paravirt guest: query tsc frequency from host (Glauber Costa) - pci device assignment (Amit Shah, Ben-Ami Yassour, Weidong Han) - still lacking dma - fix large page crash on z10 mainframes (Christian Borntraeger) - stack usage reduction (Dave Hansen, Sheng Yang) - code cleanup (Sheng Yang) - fix debug register corruption on Intel hosts (Marcelo Tosatti) - fix -no-kvm-irqchip - fix irq acking on pic reset (Marcelo Tosatti) - ignore spurious timer interrupt acks - limit device assignment to privileged user (Amit Shah) - big real mode emulation framework (Mohammed Gamal) - simpify irq injection (Amit Shah) - dummy irq ack notifier for ia64 (Xiantao Zhang) If a new upstream release will not get accepted into Lenny, can you backport the "fix 2.6.26 host support" patches?
