There were a considerable number of sensible logical objections. You just didn't agree with them. You've now effectively made .22 unsupportable since we don't know if someone has binary virtualiser crap loaded.
The pv_ops infrastructure doesn't support modular pv_ops implementations, and if it did, there's certainly no intention of supporting non-GPL implementations.
At the same time that all the other altinstruction patching happens, it converts any indirect calls via paravirt_ops into direct calls to the target function, bypassing struct paravirt_ops altogether. After that the structure is pretty much only used for patching modules. Any attempt at writing a modular pv_ops implementation would fail as a result.
