This is patch set v6. It includes all pending patches that are needed to enable 
gpgpu passthrough and heterogeneous computing for guests.

I was looking at this again and it occurred to me to ask: what is
"heterogeneous computing for guests" ?

Ian.


It means to passthrough gpgpu to guest and to run openCL applications in guest OS. Using gpu for GP computing is possible for native OS now, this patch just implements the same thing for guest OS. It might be a nice feature for 4.2, isn't it?

Thanks,
Wei
