[Qemu-discuss] kvm-pr support

[David Gosselin]

Hello,
I'm running linux-3.16 on a ppc64 built with kvm-pr as a module (no 
kvm-hv).  I manually modprobe the kvm-pr module after boot and realize 
performance gains on my ppc64 guest in qemu.  According to 'make 
menuconfig', kvm-pr allows some virtualization of a guest whose 
architecture does not match that of the host.  I'm wondering if qemu 
will, using this module, support a x86-64 guest on a ppc64 host.  I've 
tried to run such a configuration and have received an error that KVM is 
not supported.  I'm wondering if I built incorrectly or am not passing a 
necessary command line parameter. Understandably, qemu cannot support 
such a configuration when using kvm-hv.
Thanks,
Dave
