Yes, this precisely. And make a virt-win-reg[1] script to change that key as required, then test that it all works with a Windows guest. And document what versions of Windows it does/doesn't work for. The idea is that we would supply this script along with the (un-WHQL'd) drivers. The script would allow the unsigned drivers to be installed in the shut-down Windows guest (from the host). Eventually the script would be extended to install the drivers as well[2]. Rich.
