Excerpt

A description of a KVM port to PowerPC 970 cores, also known as PowerPC64

Description

KVM runs on most major platforms available these days, including x86(_64), IA64, S390 and embedded PPC. Up to now the PowerPC support was limited to embedded processors which I decided to change.

This talk will show you how I implemented KVM support for PowerPC, which issues I ran into and how powerful everything is now.
