From abd5fc4c862d033a989552914149f01c9476bb16 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vitaly Kuznetsov Date: Fri, 21 Dec 2018 15:16:04 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] i386/kvm: add a comment explaining why .feat_names are commented out for Hyper-V feature bits Hyper-V .feat_names are, unlike hardware features, commented out and it is not obvious why we do that. Document the current status quo.
