Sounds to me like you're trying hard to prove some point of yours which
doesn't make much sense to me. And when you say "in theory", that makes
it even less believable. So I remember asking you for exact steps. That
above doesn't read like steps but like some babbling and I've actually
tried to make sense of it for a couple of minutes but failed.

So lemme spell it out for ya. I'd like for you to give me this:

1. Build kernel with this config
2. Boot it in kvm with this settings
3. Do this in the guest
4. Do that in the guest
5. ...
6. ...


And all should be exact commands so that I can do them here on my machine.
