Hi all,

	Some of you know I've been working on a trivial in-kernel hypervisor to
demonstrate paravirt_ops.  The good news is that it works!  (And not
just for me!)  The bad news is that I haven't written any documentation
and now I'm going to be offline (moving to a farm) for several weeks.

	Nonetheless, if you're the kind of person who wants to poke around with
hypervisors, no doubt you can figure it out.  Tony Breeds might even
write a HOWTO.  There's certainly a lot to be done (see FIXMEs in the
code for example).  Console device, block device and inter-domain
networking all work.  From here it should be easy 8)

	So, you can download the patch "lhype.patch" from the paravirt
mercurial patch queue.  It should apply by itself to a recent -mm tree.

Thanks, and have fun playing!
Rusty.
