[Bug 1879672] Re: QEMU installer with WHPX support

[Daniel Berrange]

Has anyone raised an RFE with the mingw64 project to provide these
headers / APIs ? That's what provides the interfaces we usually rely on
for Windows builds, and they're likely familiar with what they can &
can't do from a legal POV. I don't see this as something QEMU needs to
solve itself.

Title:
  QEMU installer with WHPX support

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  People often ask the community to add WHPX support to the QEMU installer for 
Windows,
  but it is impossible due to the license limitations of the WHPX SDK.

  The WinHvEmulation.h and WinHvPlatform.h header files needed are "All
  rights reserved".

  However these headers only contain struct definitions and integer constants,
  no functional code in macros or inline functions. See:
  https://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg645815.html
  It is questionable whether the headers alone can be considered copyrightable 
material.
