Happy to oblige, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for.  We enably
hyper-v leaves if hyperv_enabled(), which seems to boil down to the kvm
kernel supporting KVM_CAP_HYPERV and one or more cpu->hyperv_foo
features enabled.  What's the commandline option I'm looking for that
has some sort of hyper-v=on|off?  Thanks,
