Err, meant via properties. Point is, why have VMWare CPUID configuration as data, if there are reasons to believe code is a better fit (code as in current Hyper-V implementation). > My point is that the CPUIDs must be carefully constructed, > that i miss the point why making them configurable is > desired. > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in > the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
