As I already explained, they have to continue to work without any change
to the VM's configuration.
Our users already expect PV to work without HTL. This feature is already
being used and the documentation has been online for a few months. I've
already heard enough complains because users found small errors in our
documentation. I'm not looking forward to complains because suddenly we
need to specify new command line arguments depending on the QEMU version.
@Cornelia: QEMU is not my expertise, am I missing something here?
