[coLinux-users] Google Summer of Code 2008 - and the future of coLinux

[Henry N. <Hen...@Ar...>]

Hallo,

have registered coLinux as Google Summer of Code™.
http://code.google.com/soc/2008/

The idea behind this, is to join into the official Linux kernel
mainline. "lguest" inside the Linux kernel use a "paravirt_ops" as entry
point and a hypercall as connection from guest to the host. All this
code is similar as we have in coLinux as "co_switch".

Official Linux kernel would never accept our current hacking. But we can
use the exist kernel entry points and port coLinux into. This would
better to following recent kernels in future and distribution with
kernels with paravirtualization enabled would be work out of the DVD/CD
installation.
