I had been thinking of this issue. What I concern is, this optimization is specific to windows. So if user sets "guest = windows", and runs linux as guest, This may make guest linux behave strangely, or crash. Yes, you can say this is user's fault, but user may complain.

We may add an hypercall to select per-guest optimizations. And create an EFI utility to enabled these optimizations.

Such an hypercall should be common to PV and VTI.

If the user incorrectly set an optimization it's his problem.

I don't have preference on automatic detect or using configure option. Seems, community like to use configure option.

That's OK for me, I'll try to add a configure option about guest.

Thanks, Anthony

Tristan.
