I found a combo patch already posted, which included some extra (Gentoo-specific?) compiler options, and some code patches..<\/p>\n

The combo patch does include license changes, but these are not legal, so I did not test any further…\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The previous time these licensing issues arose, then – eventually – the kernel devs relented, and reverted the changes to the kernel code, but there is – so far – no indication of whether this will happen this time..<\/p>\n

I did try replacing occurrences of ‘\u2018global_page_state\u2019 with \u2018global_numa_state\u2019, and vmmon compiled and loaded OK, but gave the following memory error when attempting to run a correctly-configured VM:

\nSo – presumably – this is not<\/span> the correct solution!<\/p>\n
