One more thing. If you're going to be patching generic code, please
start using feature checks that can get optimized away at runtime.
hv_is_isolation_supported() doesn't look like the world's cheapest
check. It can't be inlined and costs at least a function call.
These checks could, with basically no effort be wrapped in a header like
this:
static inline bool hv_is_isolation_supported(void)
{
if (!cpu_feature_enabled(X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR))
return 0;
// out of line function call:
return __hv_is_isolation_supported();
}
I don't think it would be the end of the world to add an
X86_FEATURE_HYPERV_GUEST, either. There are plenty of bits allocated
for Xen and VMWare.
