jrb44@plym.cl.cam.ac.uk e1aded64c5 There is a known "xm console" issue related with VMX. When "serial" is
enabled in script and no once uses "xm console" to read the console, 
VMX boting will hang due to the buffer is full.
I added a "select" before "write". If it could not be written, 
unix_write will Return immediately and it will not block the VMX 
booting. With this fix, we can  make VMX's serial enable by default.

Modified to patch xmexample.hvm. Put through xenrt on a VMX box.

The QEMU x86 emulator
---------------------

INSTALLATION
------------

Type 

    ./configure
    make

to build qemu, qemu-CPU and libqemu.a (CPU is the name of the various
supported target CPUs).

Type

    make install

to install QEMU in /usr/local

Tested tool versions
--------------------

In order to compile QEMU succesfully, it is very important that you
have the right tools. The most important one is gcc. I cannot guaranty
that QEMU works if you do not use a tested gcc version. Look at
'configure' and 'Makefile' if you want to make a different gcc
version work.

[1] On Alpha, QEMU needs the gcc 'visibility' attribute only available
    for gcc version >= 3.3.
[2] Linux >= 2.4.20 is necessary for precise exception support
    (untested).
[3] 2.4.9-ac10-rmk2-np1-cerf2

[4] gcc 2.95.x generates invalid code when using too many register
variables. You must use gcc 3.x on PowerPC.
