+Currently, kvm module in EXPERIMENTAL stage on IA64. This means that
+interfaces are not stable enough to use. So, plase had better don't run
+critical applications in virtual machine. We will try our best to make it
+strong in future versions!
+				Guide: How to boot up guests on kvm/ia64
+
+This guide is to describe how to enable kvm support for IA-64 systems.
+
+1. Get the kvm source from git.kernel.org.
+	Userspace source:
+		git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm-userspace.git
+	Kernel Source:
+		git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xiantao/kvm-ia64.git
+
+2. Compile the source code.
+	2.1 Compile userspace code:
+		(1)cd ./kvm-userspace
+		(2)./configure
+		(3)cd kernel
+		(4)make sync LINUX= $kernel_dir (kernel_dir is the directory of kernel source.)
+		(5)cd ..
+		(6)make qemu
+		(7)cd qemu; make install
+
+	2.2 Compile kernel source code:
+		(1) cd ./$kernel_dir
+		(2) Make menuconfig
+		(3) Enter into virtualization option, and choose kvm.
+		(4) make
+		(5) Once (4) done, make modules_install
+		(6) Make initrd, and use new kernel to reboot up host machine.
+		(7) Once (6) done, cd $kernel_dir/arch/ia64/kvm
+		(8) insmod kvm.ko; insmod kvm-intel.ko
+
+Note: For step 2, please make sure that host page size == TARGET_PAGE_SIZE of qemu, otherwise, may fail.
+
+3. Get Guest Firmware named as Flash.fd, and put it under right place:
+	(1) If you have the guest firmware (binary) released by Intel Corp for Xen, use it directly.
+
+	(2) If you have no firmware at hand, Please download its source from
+		hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/efi-vfirmware.hg
+	    you can get the firmware's binary in the directory of efi-vfirmware.hg/binaries.
+
+	(3) Rename the firware you owned to Flash.fd, and copy it to /usr/local/share/qemu
+
+4. Boot up Linux or Windows guests:
+	4.1 Create or install a image for guest boot. If you have xen experience, it should be easy.
+
+	4.2 Boot up guests use the following command.
+		/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-ia64 -smp xx -m 512 -hda $your_image
+		(xx is the number of virtual processors for the guest, now the maximum value is 4)
+
+5. Known possibile issue on some platforms with old Firmware.
+
+If meet strange host crashe issues, try to solve it through either of the following ways:
+
+(1): Upgrade your Firmware to the latest one.
+
+(2): Applying the below patch to kernel source.
+diff --git a/arch/ia64/kernel/pal.S b/arch/ia64/kernel/pal.S
+index 0b53344..f02b0f7 100644
+--- a/arch/ia64/kernel/pal.S
++++ b/arch/ia64/kernel/pal.S

++	srlz.i			// seralize restoration of psr.l

+ END(ia64_pal_call_static)
+
+6. Bug report:
+	If you found any issues when use kvm/ia64, Please post the bug info to kvm-ia64-devel mailing list.
+	https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-ia64-devel/
+
+Thanks for your interest! Let's work together, and make kvm/ia64 stronger and stronger!
