[patch 00/12] pollfs: a naive filesystem for pollable objects

This patch set introduces a new file system for the delivery of pollable events through file descriptors. To the detriment of debugability, pollable objects are a nice adjunct to nonblocking/epoll/event-based servers. Currently implemented waitable "objects" are: signals, futexes, ai/o blocks,

[PATCH 08/41] KVM: Handle cpuid in the kernel instead of punting to userspace

KVM used to handle cpuid by letting userspace decide what values to return to the guest. We now handle cpuid completely in the kernel. We still let userspace decide which values the guest will see by having userspace set up the value table beforehand (this is necessary to allow management

[PATCH 07/41] KVM: Do not communicate to userspace through cpu registers during PIO

Currently when passing the a PIO emulation request to userspace, we rely on userspace updating %rax (on 'in' instructions) and %rsi/%rdi/%rcx (on string instructions). This (a) requires two extra ioctls for getting and setting the registers and (b) is unfriendly to non-x86 archs, when they get
