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.

For completeness, where do we want to put the drivers?
drivers/*, drivers/net/* etc. or
drivers/kvm/* drivers/xen/* etc.

There's already drivers/virtio/ for kvm. If kvm-specific drivers come up, we can place them in drivers/kvm/.
