Hello guys:
First of all, you've done a fantastic job in 1.4 beta 1. Very impressive guys. Thank you very much.
Now, the problem. I've been trying to make Windows (in any of its variants and licenses) trying to use all of the processors and cores in my machines with no luck. That is, I have several machines with multi core and multi socket processors. As you may already know, Windows Server standard can use up to 4 processor sockets, independently of how many cores the processors has. The problem is that qemu+kvm in it most recent version can only pass to the virtual machine physical sockets. So, I need to upgrade my Widnows and install Data Center version (a lot to $$$$$$$). That's is not possible as you can guess. Qemu+kvm can pass up to 16 sockets to the vm but there is no way to tell them that those sockets have multicore processors.
I've found a git patch for qemu just for that specific configuration. I really, really, really need it. I need to migrate a machine running Win2k3 Standard to Proxmox next week and I need to have that patch applied so I can tell kvm to run qemu with 4 sockets and 4 cores per socket.
What could I do to apply that patch to qemu version in Proxmox 1.3?
By the way, you can find the patch on qemu-devel list: http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/33961/
