yes. This is not for 2.10 clearly. This is just an RFC to get
some feedback on the approach and on some ugly hacks I have 
put in place.

I have given KVM a quick look and it should be addressed before
we start merging anything. I think PowerNV should wait a bit. 

As for TCG, my branch supports reset, changing model XICS <-> XIVE, 
migration and CPU hotplug. KVM+kernel_irqchip=off is supported
also. Most of the issues have found a solution but now we need 
to discuss.   

I was out last week. Catching up.

Thanks,
