As for as the hardware goes we can choose on e500mc as well -- we just  
don't support it in KVM, because we can't distinguish between guest and  
host interrupts without routing the latter to critical, which is way  
too much of a pain for Linux (we did it in our standalone hypervisor,  
though).

host interrupts without routing the latter to critical, which is way =20
