Can I get some clarification on this? Major version 2 of HV_GRP_INTR was meant to behave the way that you say major version 3 does. My understanding is that due to Solaris erratum 6496266, the hypervisor has to provide the VIRQ cookie interfaces even if the guest only negotiates major version 1. So supposedly, major version 3 was provided to untangle this mess. Can you clear this up for me?
