Okay we talked off-line a bit, here's a summary:

- we both agree we want my patch making TELL_HOST optional,
  just to make current practice with windows drivers, legal.
  Will ask Rusty to re-consider it for inclusion.

- Paolo's patches need some experimentation, it's not 100%
  clear what the benefit is, and maybe it's possible to
  get same gains without spec/guest driver changes.
