I'm curious, where would you put the limit?  Let's imagine a tools/kvm
appears, be it qemu or not, that's outside the scope of my question.
Would you put the legacy PC bios in there (seabios I guess)?  The EFI
bios? The windows-compiled paravirtual drivers? The Xorg paravirtual
DDX ?  Mesa (which includes the pv gallium drivers)? The
libvirt-equivalent? The GUI?

That's not a rhetorical question btw, I really wonder where the limit
should be.

  OG.
