Changing kernel API / Breaking VirtualBox - update criteria violation?

Mon Nov 21 20:32:05 UTC 2011

Hi,

a recent kernel update[0] broke Fedora's ability to be a VirtualBox
host, because asm/amd_iommu.h was removed. The removal of the file was
noticed during testing, but it seems nobody noticed that this affects
VirtualBox. Is this kind of change sanctioned by the
current update criteria?

Kind regards
Till
