I agree, is there any reason not to enable compiling less into the binary? There are folks interested in eliminating as much as possible to reduce
the attack surface and auditing requirements, for example.

It's not a bad idea, it's just that what --disable-cpu-emulation does is evil. Being that I wrote the implementation, I'm quite confident in declare it as such :-)


Oh, I thought you were against the idea in itself for some reason.

I'll patch it for 0.13, but any ideas on how it should be rework for master?

Glauber's old Accel interface was close to the right approach. We need to abstract the exec.c interfaces to use a function pointer table and have a TCG and KVM implementation. The function pointer tables can then be registered by a module_init() and we can simply not include the kvm or TCG files are build time to disable the functionality.

Yes, I remember it now.

Glauber, can you bring those patches back from the land of the dead?
