Good question... I guess we should measure performance impact.  We could 
rewrite the hypercall site to do an int 15 after the first time (rewriting  
is what kvm does, so it's allowed).  Bonus is that old code would "just 
work".

I thought it would be nice to move closer to kvm where we've made arbitrary 
choices.

Cheers,
Rusty.
