I'm wondering if it wouldn't be simpler to keep the existing interface but just initialize CPUState->kvm_state earlier (today it is initialized only on kvm_init_vcpu(), although the kvm_state global is initialized much earlier). Even with this new KVMState-based interface, code that needs to use these functions before kvm_init_vcpu() (e.g. check_features_against_host()) will have to use the 'kvm_state' global (and I would like to avoid that). -- Eduardo
