Wait a second .. This is not true :) KVMGT supports HSW from the very beginning when it was enabled at someday 2014, and the HSW support never get dropped. What will not support HSW is the *upstreamed* KVMGT, that is to say the HSW support won't be in Linus tree. > What I don't know is how much work upstreaming KVMGT is left.
