This batch includes mostly MMU hooks that can be used by the hypervisor for page allocation, and allows the kernel to be compiled to step out of the way of the hypervisor by making a hole in linear address space. Patches are based off 2.6.13-rc6-mm2; I've tested i386 PAE and non-PAE as well as um-i386. Although these are mostly i386 specific, some of the concepts are starting to apply to virtualization of other architectures as well. Zachary Amsden
