The regressions will automagically go away (to be replaced with others then...) when the switch of qemu-kvm to upstream bits is performed. They were related to qemu-kvm implementing iothread on top of non-threaded qemu and /me not looking careful enough on the implications. How this switch may look like can be seen here (slightly outdated version): http://git.kiszka.org/?p=qemu-kvm.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/queues/qemu-kvm-merge git://git.kiszka.org/qemu-kvm.git queues/qemu-kvm-merge Part V of KVM upstream patches is under review ATM. I can post v2 if no one has further remarks. Then we could start with the review/merge work on qemu-kvm. The next time upstream will be involved again would be when preparing its device models and adding "-machine xxx,kvm-irqchip=..." for in-kernel irqchip support. That's more work, but it should not affect the execution model anymore. Jan -- Siemens AG, Corporate Technology, CT T DE IT 1 Corporate Competence Center Embedded Linux
