KVM/Libvirt hypervisor work

actions:

• re-syncing kvm with debian:
  • sponsor merge of qemu-kvm 0.13.0
  • offer that to debian for Experimental, work with them if possible+needed

• Jamie to look into adding more tests into qa-regression-testing from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VirtFeatureVerification

• Serge to look at http://www.mail-archive.com/libvir-list@redhat.com/msg12703.html

• Consider packaging libguestfs - likely in a ppa first
• Follow up on ubuntu build recipes for kvm-autotest
• Follow up on (Soren's) machine dedicated to kvm testing
  • Use for extensive kvm+libvirt testing?

Non-kvm qemu for arm-on-x86 testing was brought up, but it was felt that Qemu on Arm (i.e. emulating x86) was not worth doing. As for qemu emulating arm on x86, upstream (Peter needs to do work to merge Nokia's qemu-omap tree into upstream, at which point we can package it. It is hoped that can be done during the Natty cycle. KVM on arm will become interesting in a few years. Xen was brought up. We have DomU support, and kernel team only wants to support Dom0 if it gets pushed upstream.
