Description:
------------
  A kernel module to provide x86 virtualisation capabilities for the qemu emulator. Virtualisation allows "emulated" code to be run natively on the host cpu, using the CPU protection mechanisms to intercept and emulate priveleged events. Several free and non-free examples of this strategy exist, including VMWare, kqemu (a proprietay qemu module), and plex86.

Istead of attempting to virtualise all code, virtualization is only used when the cpu is in an easily virtualizable state. The rest of the code is executed using the existing qemu dynamic translation engine. All emulated hardware is also provided by the existing qemu model.

A prerelease source tarball is available at https://nowt.dyndns.org/qplex-wip-20050313.tar.bz2
This includes a slightly hacked copy of qemu.

plex86 http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/plex86/
VMWare http://www.vmware.com



Other Software Required:
------------------------
  Could theoretically be useed standalone. In paractice is only useful in conjunction with qemu.


Other Comments:
---------------
  Qplex was my initial project name, but this is already a commercial product. It will be renamed qVM86 before release.
The code uses a very similar technique to some versions of plex86, but all code was written from scratch by myself.
