Subject: [PATCH] i386: Document when features can be added to kvm_default_props
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2020 17:10:21 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200925211021.4158567-1-ehabkost@redhat.com> (raw)

It's very easy to mistakenly extend kvm_default_props to include
features that require a kernel version that's too recent.  Add a
comment warning about that, pointing to the documentation file
where the minimum kernel version for KVM is documented.
