Hi everyone,

I'm playing with a new AMD Kabini host, to see how it behaves as very low-cost[1],
low-consumption hypervisor host[2]. I'm still installing the node, so I don't
have actual data yet.

According to libvirt, the host present itself as Opteron_G3.

Plese find attached the output from
virsh (1.2.5) capabilities (caps.txt)
lscpu (lscpu.txt)
lspci (lspci.txt)

[1] You can get a CPU + mainboard with ~85 EURO or even less, and it will consume
25W fully loaded, much less when idle. The fan is close to inaudible.
[2] I'll put together a document/wiki page with my findings and experience
afterwards.
