Hi Andre,

Thanks for doing this. Since it looks unlikely that kvmtool will ever be
merged back into the kernel tree, it makes sense to cut the dependency
in my opinion.

<snip>

P.S. Although both approaches still provide the kvmtool patch history,
they do not compile before the dependency cut patches. If that is an
issue, one could think about injecting those new patches back into the
repository time line. Admittedly that sounds scary, but would solve the
problem.

If you can have it all it would be nice to preserve buildability all
through your history for bisecting (and the moon on a stick please ;-)

Is the dependency on the kernel sources something that has been stable
over the projects history or something that's been declining/increasing
over time?
