Re: [Qemu-devel] [Patch] Kqemu patch for 2.6.17-rc2

[Leonardo E. Reiter]

Hi,

I'm attaching a small update to Thomas's patch which conditionally 
enables this based on kernel version.  As far as I can tell (from very 
brief research), module_param became available very late in 2.4.  Also, 
the old version (MODULE_PARM) is supported in most 2.6 kernels as well. 
 I picked arbitrarily 2.6.10 as the break-off point - it's really easy 
to change that to be something else.  In any case, Fabrice, can you 
think about applying this, or something very similar, as it looks like 
MODULE_PARM has been finally abandoned in the latest kernels.

Regards,

Leo Reiter
