It's not a direct interface to a hypervisor,but an somewhat abstracted interface to a "hypervisor driver"I thought that hypervisor driver was some binary blob that can be directly accessed via paravirt_ops? There are no more binary blobs being used by paravirt-ops hypervisors. I prefer the term "open hypercode layer". But you're right that there are currently still quite a lot of hooks being added. I plan to be much more strict on that in the future.And it seems that the hooks are not generic but bound to a particular hypervisor. Should the Xen specific stuff not be in the binary blob? Xen doesn't use a hypercode layer, and there is no way to do what they need to do without hooks in the kernel.
