[Blueprint servercloud-r-qemu] QEMU plans for R

[Serge Hallyn]

Blueprint changed by Serge Hallyn:

Whiteboard changed:
  User Stories:
  N/A
  
  Risks:
  
  None
  
  Test Plans:
  
  The qrt qemu tests are to be run before every upload.
  
  Release Note:
  1. The qemu and qemu-kvm sources have been merged.  Some of the kvm command line usage therefore has changed.  For instance, '-enable-kvm' must be specified rather than being implied.  (List of changes to come here)
  2. Transparent hugepages are now supported.  The performance gains of hugepages in kvm will be automatically realized when available.
+ 
+ Notes:
+ 
+ The {qemu-kvm,qemu-linaro}->qemu switch does not require MIR'ing the
+ binary packages which migrated from qemu-linaro.  We can look at that,
+ but it's low priority unless someone (independently) requires qemu-user
+ etc in main.  The work item was in case somehow it was required for this
+ switch.  As it is not, I dropped the WI.
