Hard to say. The paravisor that Hyper-V provides for use with the vTOM
option in a SEV SNP VM is the only paravisor I've seen. At least as defined
by Hyper-V and AMD SNP Virtual Machine Privilege Levels (VMPLs), the
paravisor resides within the VM trust boundary. Anything that a paravisor
emulates would be in the "private" (i.e., encrypted) memory so it can be
accessed by both the guest OS and the paravisor. But nothing fundamental
says that IOAPIC emulation *must* be done in the paravisor.
I originally though about naming this attribute HAS_EMULATED_IOAPIC, but
that felt a bit narrow as other emulated hardware might need similar treatment
in the future, at least with the Hyper-V and AMD SEV SNP vTOM paravisor.
Net, we currently have N=1 for paravisors, and we won't know what the more
generalized case looks like until N >= 2. If/when that happens, additional logic
might be needed here, and the name of this attribute might need adjustment
to support broader usage. But if there's consensus on a different name now,
or on the narrower HAS_EMULATED_IOAPIC name, it doesn’t really matter
to me.
