RE: [libvirt] [RFC] Support for CPUID masking v2

From: libvir-list-boun...@redhat.com [mailto:libvir-list- Hi, This is an attempt to provide similar flexibility to CPU ID masking without being x86-specific and unfriendly to users. As suggested by Dan, we need a way to specify both CPU flags and topology to achieve this goal.

Re: [libvirt] Interface driver and ESX support

I've defined (among others): int esxVI_PhysicalNic_CastListFromAnyType(virConnectPtr conn, esxVI_AnyType *anyType, esxVI_PhysicalNic **pNicList); but runing it returns somthing like: Expecting type 'PhysicalNic' but found 'ArrayOfPhysicalNic' Does it mean I should also implement:

Re: [libvirt] Interface driver and ESX support

No, as I said before you should wait until you can use the unpublished binding of HostCpuIdInfo as an example. This also includes the code to handle ArrayOf* types. I'm currently cleaning up this patches (didn't have time on thursday for that) and will post them today, just wait for this patches,

[libvirt] Passing -no-kvm-irqchip to KVM/QEMU guests

Dear libvirt, Is there a way to tell a KVM/QEMU guest managed by libvirt to start with the -no-kvm-irqchip argument? I have some FreeBSD 7 guests with timing issues, and if I try to start the VMs manually with -no-kvm-irqchip, the timing issues go away (the only known workaround right now).
