So I guess the hypervisor performs the config access on behalf of the Linux PV kernel? Obviously Linux thinks CRS/RRS SV is enabled, but I suppose all the lspci output is similarly based on whatever the hypervisor does, so how do we know the actual hardware config? > > > [2] > > > https://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=blob;f=xen/arch/x86/pv/emul-priv-op.c;h=70150c27227661baa253af8693ff00f2ab640a98;hb=HEAD#l295
