Phoronix: Linux 5.18 KVM Prepares For Intel IPI Virtualization, Larger AMD VMs

The initial batch of KVM virtualization changes were merged last week for the ongoing Linux 5.18 merge window...

If I had more free time I would like to develop/run RISC-V in KVM using a community-distro on my AMD64 host.

1. Venus (Vulkan driver): https://docs.mesa3d.org/drivers/venus.html
2. RISC-V backend for 86Box (codegen_new): https://github.com/86Box/86Box/blob/.../arch_detect.c
3. ReactX D3D improvements in 86Box (DXVK?): https://reactos.org/wiki/ReactX
4. Run the games I am currently playing at 12.5% of KVM+AMD64+Windows10 performance.

This would likely keep my busy for a few decades. :-)

I am hopeful that I will see a RISC-V system running demanding IA-32 & AMD64 software in my lifetime. It might not be as open as I am dreaming about, but I'm sure it will happen one way or another.
