[Bug 1879672] Re: QEMU installer with WHPX support

[John Snow]

Removing 'Opinion' and moving back to 'New'; as 'Opinion' is essentially
the same as "WONTFIX" but allows discussion to continue. I believe you
want a Feature Request tag instead.

If there is still work for us to do, let's move this to
Confirmed/Triaged and add the feature request tag.

Thanks!

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/qemu-devel@nongnu.org/msg645815.html
  It is questionable whether the headers alone can be considered copyrightable 
material.
