I was thinking about it---which would have meant applying patches 1-8 only.

In the end I decided not to do it because the patch doesn't affect
KVM-on-KVM emulation.  If the patch already helped you in developing
Jailhouse, so the feature must not be _completely_ broken.  So the churn
of reverting the feature now and reapplying it later is not warranted, IMO.

Thanks,

Paolo
