2014-11-03	Change udevadm invocation to match correct usage	Matthew James Goins

2013-12-27	automatically assume screen can show UTF-8 characters	Daniel Kahn Gillmor

2013-10-07	use cache=none to avoid data copies and bus traffic (see ↵	Daniel Kahn Gillmor
	https://support.mayfirst.org/ticket/7904)
2013-09-07	enable booting the guest from a local kernel directly	Daniel Kahn Gillmor
	the user in control of a kvm-manager guest can now choose a kernel to boot directly by placing two files (symlinks are fine) at: ~/vms/$VMNAME/kernel ~/vms/$VMNAME/initrd This is by analogy with ~/vms/$VMNAME/cd.iso. If those two files are present, then the kvm guest will boot directly to the provided kernel rather than doing BIOS emulation that hands off control to the MBR of the first emulated disks. In this case, the first line of the contents of /etc/sv/kvm/env/CMDLINE will be passed as the kernel parameters, and no bootloader will be run.
2013-08-22	corrected typo in the loop through HDA..HDZ for doing udevadm trigger	maxigas

2013-08-08	enable the use of more than 4 disks (HDA through HDZ)	Daniel Kahn Gillmor
	note that this introduces a dependency on bash, since it uses a bashism.
2013-07-18	boot=on is deprecated in wheezy, but squeeze needs it.	Daniel Kahn Gillmor
	despite -boot=c, squeeze's kvm will not boot the first disk if it does not have boot=on. So we have this hacky check to see if we need it.

2012-08-30	note the reliance on geniso for isoinfo (thanks, kwadronaut!)	Daniel Kahn Gillmor

2012-04-09	sending a QUIT signal to the container process should send a TERM signal ↵	Daniel Kahn Gillmor
	directly to the kvm guest

2011-06-04	make sure permissions on /dev/kvm get set properly by udev	Daniel Kahn Gillmor

2011-05-10	sort -n doesn't properly sort hex values - resulting in duplicate	Jamie McClelland
	mac address if the last mac address created ends in 0a (we get 09 as the last sorted address, hence 0a gets created again).

2011-02-11	switch the order of invocation back around as well -- should make for a ↵	Daniel Kahn Gillmor
	cleaner startup.
