[RELEASE] Lguest for 2.6.21

From: Rusty Russell

Hi all,

Lguest is a simple hypervisor which runs Linux under Linux, without
needing VT hardware.

Two people asked if I had a version of lguest which worked on
other-than-bleeding-edge-mm kernels, so I did a backport of the latest
version to 2.6.21.

http://lguest.ozlabs.org/lguest-2.6.21-254.patch.gz

See Documentation/lguest/lguest.txt for how to run,
drivers/lguest/README for the draft code documentation journey.

Bug or even success reports always welcome!
Rusty.


Quickstart:

$ cd linux-2.6.21
$ zcat /tmp/lguest-2.6.21-254.patch.gz | patch -p1
$ make
- Say "y" to CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL, "m" to CONFIG_LGUEST.
$ make modules_install
$ make -C Documentation/lguest
$ sudo Documentation/lguest/lguest --block=<some-convenient-raw-image> \
128 vmlinux root=/dev/lgba

Three ^C's within one second will kill the guest.
