The ability to compile KVM kernel code under the userspace/kernel directory provides users of using the KVM modules with their own kernels, not necessarily the kvm git kernel. Still users who like to update their kernel can compile the kernel separately and the user space separtly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
