That's fine. I assume the virtio will mean it's also simpler to run under kvm.

One question/suggestion. As you retire old HCALLS and add new ones,
don't reuse the numbers. Rather, if someone uses a deprectaed HCALL,
kill them instantly with an error. This will simplify my life as
people try to run older plan 9 guests under newer linux kernels.

Will the churn be in the context of 2.6.23?

One last question: I pulled linus' tree and the Linux guest won't
start. A quick look shows that the return EIP after the second mmap
call in the lguest program is completely wrong. Anyone seen this? I
can send more info if not.

thanks
