Ugh ? Maybe s390 can do that but no other hypervisor that I know
about :-) It would be nice, sure, but heh.

Yeah, me neither... the driver looks very very very unefficient to me. I
though the kthread was useful for hotplug detection becasue the
hypervisor don't signal us, but from the patch, it looks like it's also
used for actual request processing which is very yucky.
