+Review checklist for kvm patches
+================================
+
+1. The patch must follow Documentation/process/coding-style.rst and
+ Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst.
+
+2. Patches should be against kvm.git master branch.
+
+3. If the patch introduces or modifies a new userspace API:
+ - the API must be documented in Documentation/virt/kvm/api.txt
+ - the API must be discoverable using KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION
+
+4. New state must include support for save/restore.
+
+5. New features must default to off (userspace should explicitly request them).
+ Performance improvements can and should default to on.
+
+6. New cpu features should be exposed via KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID2
+
+7. Emulator changes should be accompanied by unit tests for qemu-kvm.git
+ kvm/test directory.
+
+8. Changes should be vendor neutral when possible. Changes to common code
+ are better than duplicating changes to vendor code.
+
+9. Similarly, prefer changes to arch independent code than to arch dependent
+ code.
+
+10. User/kernel interfaces and guest/host interfaces must be 64-bit clean
+ (all variables and sizes naturally aligned on 64-bit; use specific types
+ only - u64 rather than ulong).
+
+11. New guest visible features must either be documented in a hardware manual
+ or be accompanied by documentation.
+
+12. Features must be robust against reset and kexec - for example, shared
+ host/guest memory must be unshared to prevent the host from writing to
+ guest memory that the guest has not reserved for this purpose.
