It's funny... I think I have yet to state an opinion on anything yet,
but you've decided that we disagree.

I work on free software. My job (and mission in life, if you will) is to
work on and improve free software and make it an increasingly better
platform.

Ok ok.. I get it. You think that anyone doing virtualisation should do
whatever it takes to work around the x86 architecture's flaws. kvm's
authors feel differently and I tend to agree.

I don't overlook problems. I try to fix them.

As seems to be common topic when we discuss things, Kevin, I find the
complete lack of reference of any kind deeply frustrating.

It's not a matter of *enough* hardware. It's a matter of *correct*
hardware.
