[RFC] Proposed new directory layout for kvm and virtualization

[Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>]

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
 include/linux/kvm.h       arch independent interface
 include/asm/kvm.h         arch dependent interface
 include/linux/kvm_para.h  arch independent guest interface
 include/asm/kvm_para.h    arch dependent guest interface

The include/ hierarchy is already in place; I'm including it for 
completeness.

Comments, alternative suggestions welcome.

[This was foreshadowed about a year ago in 
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/11/28/32, where the conclusion of the thread 
was to wait a year before making this change.  Quite an accurate 
prediction.]
