It would be wonderful! Actually Ingo Molnar was sniffing around this area too. Ingo, do you have any news in that field or you were tied up with the other, many Linux issues that you support? Actually you can get initial kick start in two places: 1. I had a working in-kernel-apic KVM version. It's quite old release of the KVM, before the SVM support but it was working back then. The reason we didn't merged it was that we managed to run Windows with qemu's apic. You can get the 'apic' branch from the kvm svn. 2. Get an updated version from Xen and make the necessary changes for KVM. This is what I have done in the above apic implementation. I had to choose between implementation from scratch, ripping qemu, ripping Xen and I decided to pick Xen. Please keep us uptodate about the progress, if possible by sending small cumulative patches each time.
