1.2. KVM ported to IA64, PPC and S390
KVM, the virtualization solution included in Linux 2.6.20, has been
rearchitected to give support to architectures other than x86: IA64
(Itanium), S390 and PPC
S390: (commit 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
IA64: (commit 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
PowerPC 440: (commit)
在Jul13发布的2.6.26上,KVM已经移植到了IA64,PPC,S390,由此看来KVM不是一定依赖于Intel的VMX或AMD的SVM;KVM的未来应该能移植到更多类型的ARCH上;
KVM 官方说在不支持原生虚拟化的 CPU 上会 fallback 到 qemu 的方式,不知道这里是不是就是这种方式。
