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

The arch/*/dir shall use same dir-name as used
in top-level directory.

Well, it isn't like that now (arch/x86/oprofile, etc.)

So use arch/*/virt/kvm/ if kvm really requires
a subdirectory of it own. Preferably not.
A handful of files named kvm* does not warrant their own
subdirectory IMO.


We'll have 5-6 x86 specific files.

Where do you suggest we place them?
