I mean, if you're targeting virt and cloud, then you can't ignore EC2 and that is all xen. And hyper-v. Can't exclude them either. And whatever Rusty's virt thing is. And on and on. About the only "virt/cloud" thing you can exclude is e.g. virtualbox and that's only because they're not in the upstream kernel. Maybe one day they'll realize the error of their ways and then you have to include that too. > 99 out of 100 doe snot passthru physical hardware Maybe today, but it's an ever increasing target.
