Excellent! I can't thank you enough. I've applied all the patches and made them available as one big patch: One as a re-diff on the resulting tree, one just by concatenating all of them - slightly bigger: http://213.228.237.37/uml/2.6.12-rc3/ (mconsole-exec also applies with some offsets) A simple kernel was successfully built, but I had to manually re-set the symlink in include/asm (`rm elf.h; ln -sf x86_64.h elf.h`) I guess that the elf.h-symlink[-akpm] patch must be missing something? A kernel with more options enabled failed during linkage (details in the same directory as above under 'build2' - I don't really mind anyway). The 64-bit guest boots into existing 32-bit root_fs without problems, I will rebuild all my 64-bit guests and let you know how this goes. But so far, the performance increase over TT guests on a x86_64 box is quite simply breathtaking!
