KVM is due to receive support for multiple architectures (ppc, ia64, and s390, in addition to the existing x86), hopefully in time for the 2.6.25 merge window. It is awkward to place the new arch support in drivers/kvm/, so I'd like to propose the following new layout:
virt/ top-level directory for hypervisors
virt/kvm/ kvm common code
virt/lguest/ the other hypervisor
arch/*/kvm/ arch dependent kvm code
The arch/*/dir shall use same dir-name as used
in top-level directory.
So use arch/*/virt/kvm/ if kvm really requires
a subdirectory of it own. Preferably not.
A handful of files named kvm* does not warrant their own
subdirectory IMO.
