Yesterday a new git repository was released for the kvm kernel module only. The repository is very small is really designed to be used by users running pre-kvm Linux distro kernels or for upgrading to the latest kvm kernel modules on distro kernels

This repository can be used independently of the recently released qemu-kvm git repository released a few days ago.

The kvm-kmod git repository can be found at the following link:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm-kmod.git

You can use also use the git submodule commands which allows you to check out a kernel tree for a specific version. To use these commands you'd issue the following commands.

$ cd kvm-kmod/
$ git submodule init
Submodule 'linux-2.6' (git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm.git) registered for path 'linux-2.6'
$ git submodule update
