I looked around to see **which** kernel was meant; their FAQ just says

3.5. What kernel version does it work with?

kvm should work with any recent kernel (2.6.16 and above, likely even
earlier)

There is a unique numbering system for linux kernels?  What is it? I've
always thought of kernels as being part of distros.

Thanks,

And I just spotted that KVM supports migration
(http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki/Migration) and is integrated in the
2.6.21 kernel.

This would allow the scheduler to schedule on the actual resources being
used by an application and suspend and/or migrate a job whenever
necessary. Would'nt such an approach be far more superior (in terms of
throughput) and much easier to use ?
