I was investigating this now because I thought with PVHv2 support available since 4.11 there was a good chance that a modern guest distribution release (in this specific case "debtest1" was in fact Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with HWE 4.13 kernel) would be usable without additional guest modifications. I see now that at the moment this really only means usable by directly supplying kernel and initramfs, which is not going to work for my users who like to choose between several distributions and control their own kernels. I will evaluate again when/if these patches become available in distribution packaged kernels.
