I just commited the first alpha release of the QEMU Accelerator Module (aka
KQEMU) in the CVS. It gives better performance for the "x86 on x86" case by
running most of the application code as is. It works only for a Linux x86
host running a 2.4 or 2.6 kernel. Linux 2.4 and 2.6 kernels and Windows 2000
have been runnning as guest OSes, but other OSes may work as well. As with
every alpha kernel driver testing, it is better to backup your data before
trying it.
KQEMU is _not_ open source as the rest of QEMU. It is a proprietary kernel
module (read the LICENSE file) and will stay so until a gentle company
decides to subsidy the QEMU project.
1. How much? Can the money be collected by comunity (like blender)?
2. What if you will quit making qemu?
3. Are you planning to make and support it completly alone?
4. [Technical question.] Does savannah allow for not open source content
in their CVS?
Thanks for your work,
Grzegorz Kulewski
