Shortlog and new function name are a bit confusing. The framework already supports creating VMs without vCPUs, what it doesn't provide is a helper to load the guest code and do the other "default" stuff. That said, the framework is such an absolute mess that I'm fine going with vm_create_without_vcpus() for now, carving out a more appropriate name will be an exercise in futility without a large-scale renaming and refactoring of the other crud. So just a different shortlog I supposed, though even that seems doomed to be contradictory. Maybe something like this? KVM: selftests: Carve out helper to create "default" VM without vCPUs Default in quotes because the selftests already have a goofy interpretation of "default".
