[Qemu-devel] Using virtio-net and vhost_net on an ARM machine using qemu-system-arm & KVM

[Barak Wasserstrom]

Hi,

I would like to utilize virtio-net and vhost_net on an ARM Cortex A15 machine using qemu-system-arm & KVM.

I have few questions:

1. Do i need to build qemu-system-arm myself, or apt-get install it? When i apt-get install it i get "KVM not supported for this target. "kvm" accelerator does not exist. No accelerator found!".

2. Do i need to execute qemu-system-arm directly or through virsh? Does it matter?

3. Must i use a machine that supports PCI controller or not? And if so, which machine supports it? I saw that 'virt' and 'vexpress' don't support it.

Thanks in advance,

Barak
