Subject: [PATCH -rc][RESEND] KVM: Fix virtualization menu help text
Date: Sat, 22 Sep 2007 14:43:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <11904650252725-git-send-email-avi@qumranet.com> (raw)

What guest drivers?

Cc: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@computergmbh.de>
Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

An August 18 patch from Jan Engelhardt (06bfb7e) added help text for the virtualization menu.
Unfortunately the text is misleading, as "guest drivers" are usually interpreted to
mean "drivers running inside the guest", which is not the case for kvm.

Linus, please apply.
