Subject: [PATCH 0/2] [RFC] Make kvm-unit-tests more friendly to upstream QEMU
Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2011 20:51:03 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1314748265-15488-1-git-send-email-lmr@redhat.com> (raw)

aliguori - This series makes an attempt to make kvm-unit-tests more friendly
to upstream QEMU.  I've been writing unit tests for all of the QMP commands
and many of them, like ballooning, require guest cooperation to be tested in
a meaningful way.

I'm leaning towards building simple guests using libcflat in order to do this
using some very simple PCI device drivers.  To get started, I made a few changes
to kvm-unit-tests to make them more friendly to QEMU upstream basically by
using platform devices instead of relying on special test devices.

lmr - This is an attempt to revive Anthony's patch series to kvm-unit-tests,
I tried to figure out what an updated version of the patchset would look like,
that is, dropping patch "do not set level sensitive irq when initializing the PIC"
and putting the old behavior of the test dev writes on an ifdef block. Let
me know if I got this right. Original patches for reference:
