It is only in the staging tree of the upstream Linux kernel. It will
take time to vet the code, fix the issues and merge it properly. When
that happens, Fedora will inherit the new kernel and therefore support
this feature. It will help users who choose to run Linux as a guest
operating system.

The code being submitted is itself under the GPL and hence there is no
violation

The code was written entirely by Microsoft.
