Hi,
I want to manage a 32 bit i686 guest on an x86_64 host with kvm and libvirt.
KVM is perfectly capable of doing this (look e.g. at
http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki/Guest_Support_Status) but libvirt did not
allow it.
So I created the attached patch to allow it and make it easy to extend the
capabilities of kvm and kqemu later on.
This is incorrect. KVM is *not* exposing a i686 architecture CPU. It is
exposing an x86_64 virtualized CPU which is capable of running x86_64 or
i686 guests. No change is required.
