Bug#558200: linux-image-2.6.32-rc8-amd64: Please, enable CONFIG_KSM in 2.6.32

[Vincent Danjean <vdanjean@debian.org>]

Package: linux-image-2.6.32-rc8-amd64
Version: 2.6.32~rc8-1~experimental.1
Severity: wishlist

  Hi,

  Kernel SamePage Merging is a recent linux kernel feature which combines
identical memory pages from multiple processes into one copy on write memory
region.
  It is especially interesting on a host where you run several kvm guest
with the same operating system.
  KSM does not change anything but if a process (such as recent version of kvm)
requests it with a call to madvise.
  So, please, enable this feature in 2.6.32 Debian kernel.

  Best regards,
    Vincent
