Nothing really except documenting the quirks in Documentation/virtual/kvm/ (especially cpuid.txt in the case of pv_unhalt). This way the next time someone adds something there it will hopefully catch the eyes of the reviewers. It would probably be good to add a mention of KVM_ENABLE_CAP to Documentation/virtual/kvm/review-checklist.txt. -- 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
