[PATCH 0/4] KVM: add KVM_CREATE_VM2 to allow dynamic kvm->vcpus array

[Radim KrÄmÃÅ]

The basic idea is to let userspace provide the desired maximal number of
VCPUs and allocate only necessary memory for them.

The goal is to freeze KVM_MAX_VCPUS at its current level and only increase the
new KVM_MAX_CONFIGURABLE_VCPUS, probably directly to INT_MAX/KVM_VCPU_ID, so we
don't have to worry about it for a while.

PPC should be interested in this as they set KVM_MAX_VCPUS to NR_CPUS
and probably waste few pages for every guest this way.


Radim KrÄmÃÅ (4):
  KVM: remove unused __KVM_HAVE_ARCH_VM_ALLOC
  KVM: allocate kvm->vcpus separately
  KVM: add KVM_CREATE_VM2 system ioctl
  KVM: x86: enable configurable MAX_VCPU
