No. I see no need for soft-switch within the tenant VMs itself.

Yes it could be part of hypervisor. It could also be part of kernel
(assuming those two are not integrated). It could also be just running
in the user space. I have see various designs recently - with quite
reasonable performance numbers for all three above - so I think we need
to consider all. But that really does not have that much of impact to
the architecture IMHO.
Thx,
R.
