Adding it by default for everyone still seems too aggressive. We had a ton of pain with pvpanic exactly because of a similar "can't hurt" approach. I think a better approach would be to merge the code in qemu, merge a linux driver. Once that's available, and some apps use it, enabling it by default will seem more reasonable. -- MST
