Support management of Linux Containers virtualisation (app-emulation/lxc) Support management of OpenVZ virtualisation (see sys-kernel/openvz-sources) Support management of User Mode Linux virtualisation Support management of QEmu virtualisation (one of app-emulation/qemu, app-emulation/qemu-kvm or app-emulation/qemu-spice) Support management of Xen virtualisation (app-emulation/xen) Support management of VirtualBox virtualisation (one of app-emulation/virtualbox or app-emulation/virtualbox-ose) Support management of virtualisation through the PHYP hypervisor protocol. Enable networking support for guests Use NUMA for memory segmenting via sys-process/numactl Builds the libvirtd daemon as well as the client utilities instead of just the client utilities Support auto learning IP addreses for routing Support for MAC-based TAP (macvlan/macvtap). For networking instead of the normal TUN/TAP. It has its advantages and disadvantages. macvtap support requires very new kernels and is currently evolving. Support for this is experimental at best Support QEmu 0.13 JSON-based interface, using dev-libs/yajl.
