This patch introduces a new config option for user controlled kernel virtual machines. It introduces a parameter to KVM_CREATE_VM that allows to set bits that alter the capabilities of the newly created virtual machine. The parameter is passed to kvm_arch_init_vm for all architectures. The only valid modifier bit for now is KVM_VM_S390_UCONTROL. This requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileges and creates a user controlled virtual machine on s390 architectures.

Support hosting paravirtualized guest machines using the SIE

virtualization capability on the mainframe. This should work
|

on any 64bit machine.
|
|
|
|
This module provides access to the hardware capabilities through
|
|
a character device node named /dev/kvm.
|

To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module
|
|
will be called kvm.

If unsure, say N.
