562 | What: KVM memory aliases support | ||
563 | When: July 2010 | ||
564 | Why: Memory aliasing support is used for speeding up guest vga access | ||
565 | through the vga windows. | ||
566 | |||
567 | Modern userspace no longer uses this feature, so it's just bitrotted | ||
568 | code and can be removed with no impact. | ||

573 | What: KVM kernel-allocated memory slots | ||
574 | When: July 2010 | ||
575 | Why: Since 2.6.25, kvm supports user-allocated memory slots, which are | ||
576 | much more flexible than kernel-allocated slots. All current userspace | ||
577 | supports the newer interface and this code can be removed with no | ||
578 | impact. | ||

583 | What: KVM paravirt mmu host support | ||
584 | When: January 2011 | ||
585 | Why: The paravirt mmu host support is slower than non-paravirt mmu, both | ||
586 | on newer and older hardware. It is already not exposed to the guest, | ||
587 | and kept only for live migration purposes. | ||
