The connection is quite unfortunate IMHO.
Can't there be an option
that unbreaks drivers *without* opening up security holes by
making BIOS shared?
That would require new low level APIs that distinguish both cases, and a
tree sweep.

Presumably bios code is in arch/x86 and drivers/acpi, right?
Up to 200 calls the majority of which is likely private ...

I don't have better ideas but the current setup will just
result in people making their guests vulnerable whenever they
want to allow device pass-through.
