So focus on interconnecting physical systems I think would be one way for vbus to stop conflicting with KVM. If drivers for such systems appear I expect that relevant (hypervisor-agnostic) vbus bits would be very uncontroversial. This would not be the first technology to make the jump from attempting to be a PCI replacement to being an interconnect btw, I think infiniband did this as well. -- MST -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
