Well I think we really should be documenting the host/guest interface
here.
After all it starts out
A guest running on a kvm host, can check some of its features using
cpuid.
And guests really should not try to guess whether host
has schedstat or task delay accounting support based on this bit.
So I would just say:
"steal time can be enabled by writing to msr 0x4b564d02"
just like async pf.
It makes sense. will stick to the above line.

Actually there's no override: guest can still use the
standard EOI even if PV EOI MSR is enabled.
There's a detailed explanation of PV EOI in
Documentation/virtual/kvm/msr.txt
I think the following would be enough:
"paravirtualized end of interrupt handler can be enabled by writing to msr
0x4b564d04"
Okay.
Thanks Michael.
