ok but now as qemu code was imported into kvm, then it's probably would be better to witch gcc-4.x?
Sure. Are you volunteering? ;) I'm sure both upstream QEMU developers, KVM developers, and the community using either would be most appreciative. I know I would be.
here i mean that packaging kvm for fedora/redhat/centos using gcc-4.x in stead of gcc-3.x. if currently there is no reason to use gcc-3.x than i change all of my spec file.
You *could*, sure. I have done this for local builds here. But if you go that route I would recommend making a patch to KVM so it doesn't fall back into QEMU mode automatically (today if it can't open the kvm module it will assume "-no-kvm" like behavior). Otherwise you will have a bunch of support calls about why its not working properly should someone cause the system to fall back.
ps. anyway it's planed to be temporary or permanent to use a qemu fork for kvm and not try to propagate changes back to the upstream qemu?
Ill defer to Avi here, though as I understand it: Things that benefit the upstream source get pushed...things that are KVM only don't.
