IOW 16-bit protected mode and real mode aren't allowed to make hypercalls (supported also be the earlier switch() in the function)? But then, to achieve what you want, wouldn't it be more direct to simply "return HVM_HCALL_completed;" straight from that earlier switch()'s default case? At which point the switch() you modify could become if/else? Anyway - you're the maintainer, I'm just wondering ... Jan
