The former. But there are cases when using hypercalls is unavoidable. In that case the trend is to use other exit reasons than KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL, such as KVM_EXIT_PAPR_HCALL in PowerPC. Feel free to add KVM_EXIT_MIPS_CONOUT or something like that. How would you find the character device to write to in QEMU?
