Paravirt ops is currently only capable of either replacing a lot of Linux internal code or none at all. The are users that don't need all of the possibilities pv-ops delivers though. On KVM for example we're perfectly fine not using the PV MMU, thus not touching any MMU code. That way we don't have to improve pv-ops to become fast, we just don't compile the MMU parts in! This patchset splits pv-ops into several smaller config options split by feature category and then converts the KVM pv-ops code to use only the bits that are required, lowering overhead.
