The moment there's a xen_paravirt_ops, Linux has DE FACTO committed itself to the Xen ABI: whatever functionality the hypercall_page call table plus the int $0x82 interface offers. THE MOMENT any of that goes upstream and ships in a distro it's going to be there forever! Try to change paravirt_ops or any core bit of Linux so that this ABI cannot be sanely supported: 'fix it, you broke Xen!'. It wont matter that paravirt_ops is 'internal' to Linux. so trying to argue as if there was no ABI imposed on Linux by hiding the Xen ABI behind paravirt_ops, and whistling into the air as if nothing happened is misguided at best.
