Recently Avi Kivity posted to linux-kernel a patchset that adds save/resume support to KVM. See email at http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/467458.
I have given KVM a run under Ubuntu and while it did work (I ran both CentOS 4 and Windows XP as guests) things were decidedly slow. One would assume that as development progresses on KVM this situation will improve.
KVM would certainly not appear to be the toy variety of virtualization like lhype. Simply considering the founders and backing of KVM one would assume that there is significant functionality and performance to be had from KVM down the road.
Qumranet (the company driving KVM) has as it’s founder Moshe Bar, Moshe is founder of the OpenMosix project and was one of the co-founders of XenSource. One would expect that very interesting things are on their way from this company …
