This doesn't seem very compelling to me.

We shouldn't be papering over other peoples' problems in the VM spec IMHO. thanks -- PMM -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
