But from your description, you're trying to solve just another narrow problem: "The end game for me is to replace QEMU/VirtualBox for Linux on Linux virtualization for my day to day purposes. " We rarely merge a subsystem to solve one person's problem (esp. when it is defined as "replace another freely available project", even if you dislike its command line syntax). -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
