What, even after having looked at all the patches (and their descriptions), still isn't clear to me is why the distinction ENOSYS vs EOPNOTSUPP would matter. Tool stacks still need to be prepared to get back ENOSYS, at the very least as long as they mean to run on older hypervisors as well. And with Penny's work to allow excluding domctl/sysctl altogether, I expect ENOSYS would then also be what results if that option is made use of. Jan
