no the actual implementation of the operation structure is dynamic and can be
picked
at runtime, so you can compile a kernel for A,B *and* C and at runtime the
kernel
picks the one you have
Ok, I was under the impression that this sort of thing was frowned upon for

this still leaves the question of old client on new hypervisors that is
continueing in other branches of this thread.
