Bring KVM to illumos

An interesting account of how KVM came to be part of illumos is available in a post by Brian Cantrill, who credits the efforts of his collaborators Max Bruning and Robert Mustacchi in "porting" the Linux kernel virtual machine (KVM) to the SmartOS. The account covers the many weeks between Bruning's initial copying of KVM bits from the stable Linux 2.6.34 source to the trio's successful booting into KMDB running on a SmartOS.
