Yes, exactly. There is libvirt between those two... Here you can see patches adding similar flag in libvirt: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-core-libvirt/blob/master/0009-conf-add-xen-specific-feature-e820_host.patch https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-core-libvirt/blob/master/0010-libxl-make-use-of-e820_host-feature.patch Since the first patch is already there, adding yet another feature is much less code. - -- Best Regards, Marek Marczykowski-Górecki Invisible Things Lab A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
