Hi everyone,

KSM is an "out-of-tree" x86-64 ("in-kernel") VT-x hypervisor, it's designed to be hackable.
KSM supports the following *new* processor features:

	- Virtualization Exceptions
	- VM functions

To keep this short, KSM's purpose is not to run other kernels, but more of
researching (or whatsoever) the running kernel, some ideas would be sandboxing,
debugging perhaps.

P.S.: Sorry about the name, noticed it's a dup of kernel-shared-memory few
months late.

Git Tree URL:

	https://github.com/asamy/ksm

Feedback is welcome!
Thanks!
