To ease communication and track the changes over time regarding this 
problem, I opened a ticket on Launchpad:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1879672

Last time (Sept 2019) Justin Terry contacted Microsoft legal department 
for guidance but no update since.
This is unfortunate as we can not let the community use this feature, 
neither can we keep testing WHPX to avoid code bitrot.

Can you meanwhile provide Azure CI builds using WHPX enabled?

Regards,

Phil.

Title:
  QEMU installer with WHPX support

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  People often ask the community to add WHPX support to the QEMU installer for Windows,
  but it is impossible due to the license limitations of the WHPX SDK.

  The WinHvEmulation.h and WinHvPlatform.h header files needed are "All
  rights reserved".

  However these headers only contain struct definitions and integer constants,
  no functional code in macros or inline functions. See:
  https://www.mail-archive.com/qemu-devel@nongnu.org/msg645815.html
  It is questionable whether the headers alone can be considered copyrightable material.
