Re: [9fans] I/O load crashes Qemu

["Lorenzo Fernando Bivens de la Fuente" <lorenzobivens@gmail.com>]

In fact it is definetly not a plan9 issue...
If qemu fails hosting plan 9, it affects plan 9 but there is little to
be done unless we communicate with the qemu dev team.

Plan 9 is not the only os having problems with DMA access through
qemu. I am myself a moron... All I know is that the issue exists, I
don't know why... (But it would be very appreciated if an explanation
is given)

One thing I've thought several times is that perhaps qemu-ide specific
drivers need to be done. Many hosted OSs need custom made drivers to
be used with a virtualizer.

I am sure a lot has been discused about this on the list.
I'll try to do a quick scan about it later.
