Hello.

Thank you for your lots of information, they helped very much -
especially debugging...

I prepare/adapt everything to the mentioned styles/policy.
(I'll insert 2 additional ops for getting "cpuid" and "id of vcpu"...)

One thing, which is not fully clear to me: Where exactly should I post
the patches?
Also to/in this mail/group as an empty mail (containing the patch as
text-body) per patch?
Or all (3 patches) at once?
Do you prefer them in a git-repo for example at github?

Again, thank you a lot

regards Stephan
