KVM and Libvirt Backported to Lucid LTS

PPA description

Backport of Natty KVM/Qemu and libvirt to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx".

These packages have only been tested when using 2.6.38 backported to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx".

*** USE AT YOUR OWN RISK ***

This is to get hugepages support working.
See http://gist.github.com/596954 for more details.

This backport will also support PCI-pass-through provided that the host has Intel VT-d or AMD IOMMU (not GART IOMMU as the GART only handles translation and not protection) or IBM Calgary IOMMU.

This also enables using vhost-net and <serial></serial> disk serial numbers in virtio-blk.

August 23, 2011 - updated to current Natty packages.

December 4, 2011 - updated libvirt package to 0.8.8-1ubuntu6.7 (which provides the VM guest shutdown "script".)
