Linux Virtualization - Apr 2007 - [RFC, PATCH 0/5] Paravirt: fix export of paravirt-ops to binary modules

A clever set of manipulations allows us to fix binary modules with paravirt-ops
by just not exporting paravirt_ops at all and using the new patching code.

What do you think?  Experimental patches here... only partially tested, but
booting and appear to be a working prototype.

Thanks,
Zach

Basic idea looks good.

But is the 5 argument support really needed? 	I don't see any paravirt 
ops functions that needs it and even if there was one it still wouldn't be
clear
if it made sense to export it.
