Hi! We don't want *a* patch, something large like that would only be
manageable if it was broken down into small, self contained commits
with good commit messages. We're all very busy, so being able to find
a big chunk of time to go over a large contribution and go back and
forth to fix all the things that inevitably need fixing is not likely
to happen. But it would be a good thing to have support for AMD's
virtualization extensions, so I don't want to discourage you from
working on it.
We are not part of Google's summer of code program. I think those
projects tend to be ones like Gnome or KDE which have a much more
general audience.

Hi,
I am a graduate student at Stony Brook University and am working on design
and implementation of hypervisors for OSCAR lab (
http://oscar.cs.stonybrook.edu/). Currently I am working on implementing
emulation of Nested Page Tables in GEM5 as present in AMD-V architectures.
I would like to know if the GEM5 team will be interested in having a patch
which emulates the Nested Page Table and other hardware virtualization
techniques supported by AMD-V or Intel-VT atchitectures.
I would love to help in maintenance of my patch or any other issues in
GEM5 in future as well.
I would also like to know if there is any chance that this can become a
part of Google Summer of Code 2012.
Thanks,
Ankur
