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. I did not add anything I'm not sure about, so I did not at 64bit guest on 32bit host (though the page linked above seems to indicate that it works) and did not change the capabilities of kqemu at all (because I don't have any experience with it and never used it). Please consider merging. Kind regards, Gerd -- Address (better: trap) for people I really don't want to get mail from: james@cactusamerica.com
