F11 Virtualization Release Notes

For the moment, I have copied the F10 Virtualization Release Notes for use in construction the F11 notes.

Preliminary Schedule:

• Prepare Alpha Release Notes (1 page) Mon 2009-02-02 Tue 2009-02-03
• Post Final Alpha Release Notes Tue 2009-02-03 Tue 2009-02-03
• Prepare Beta Release Notes (1 page) Mon 2009-03-23 Mon 2009-03-23
• Post Beta Release Notes One-Page Mon 2009-03-23 Mon 2009-03-23

Todo

• "One thing that's missing is a "new features and improvements" for KVM - both the kvm package, and the kvm support in the kernel."
• Go over changelogs of pkgs and pick out notable diffs from F10 release ver to F11 ver.
