Does this need its own hyperacll flag? Couldn't we just gate it on whether the cpuid policy allows SVM?

Cheers,

Tim.

Actually, more generally: Keir, can you give us an opinion on which things like this belong in DOMCTL_CDF_ and which in HVM_PARAM_ (and which in their own hypercalls or not at all?)

Yes, this should be hooked off CPUID configuration, or an HVM_PARAM. We only allocate DOMCTL_CDF flags for things which need for whatever reason to be configured/enabled really early. Shadow stuff is a good example, as the shadow logic is hard enough without switching modes after a domain is created - hence there we have DOMCTL_CDF flags so it can just be set up right all in one go. I don't think nestedhvm has such difficulties.
