There are further developments in the [[FWN/Issue137#State_of_Xen_in_Upstream_Linux | state of Xen in upstream Linux]]. Pasi Kärkkäinen forwarded[1] a patch announcement[2] from xen-devel list. This set of 7 patches begin to lay the groundwork for Xen domain 0 support.

[[DanielVeillard|Daniel Veillard]] announced[1] the release of libvirt 0.4.5.

[[DanielBerrange|Daniel Berrange]]
[[HenriCook|Henri Cook]] expressed[1] a desire to nice KVM processes, and
explained<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-virt/2009-December/msg00040.html</ref>
proposed a means to pass arbitrary command string parameters to the process startup.
"The KVM based virtualization in RHEL-5.4 is not nearly so far behind
Fedora as you might think. The {{package|libvirt}} mgmt stack in RHEL-5.4 was
rebased to be near parity with [[Releases/11|Fedora 11]], and KVM in RHEL-5.4 is
also pretty close to that using what's best described as a hybrid of
kvm-83 and kvm-84."


As [[FWN/Issue141#Exposing_Unique_Hypervisor_Features | mentioned]] in FWN issue 141, [[DanielBerrange|Daniel Berrange]] pointed out the goal of libvirt is consistent API representation across hypervisors. Fortunately there is a 'schedular parameters' API in libvirt. All that's needed is for someone to implement the schedular parameters driver API for KVM.

RHEL and Fedora Virtualization Feature Parity

Robert Day wondered how the virtualization features[1] of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 compared to Fedora 12.

Daniel Berrange explained[2] "The KVM based virtualization in RHEL-5.4 is not nearly so far behind Fedora as you might think. The Package-x-generic-16.pnglibvirt mgmt stack in RHEL-5.4 was rebased to be near parity with Fedora 11, and KVM in RHEL-5.4 is also pretty close to that using what's best described as a hybrid of kvm-83 and kvm-84."
