Nevermind, its the right thing to do. Just separate the patchset please: 1) Create object properties. 2) Export VMWare CPUID via properties. 3) Convert Hyper-V. Be careful to make sure Hyper-V's current options are functional in 3). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
