[clue-talk] Red Hat dumps XEN for KVM

[dennisjperkins at comcast.net]

I'm not surprised by this. Linus and others aren't happy with Xen because their code craps all over the kernel. They want that fixed and a good API for Xen before it can become a standard part of the kernel. 

I don't know what KVM is like compared to Xen.
