I think we need to freeze the hypercall API at some time, and consider 
it a stable kernel external API. We do then need to document these 
calls, and non-GPL hypervisors can implement it. We could eventually 
have a similar situation with one of the other non-GPL hypervisors on 
s390 that run Linux.

so long,
