Subject: [PATCH v8 2/9] i386: clarify 'hv-passthrough' behavior
Date: Tue, 8 Jun 2021 14:08:10 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210608120817.1325125-3-vkuznets@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210608120817.1325125-1-vkuznets@redhat.com>
Clarify the fact that 'hv-passthrough' only enables features which are
already known to QEMU and that it overrides all other 'hv-*' settings.
