+ * 1) Several OSs, Solaris and Linux included, use them even when only
+ *    negotiating version 1.0 (or failing to negotiate at all).  So the
+ *    hypervisor has a workaround that provides the VIRQ interfaces even
+ *    when only verion 1.0 of the API is in use.
+ *
+ * 2) Second, and more importantly, with major version 2.0 these VIRQ
+ *    interfaces only were actually hooked up for LDC interrupts, even
+ *    though the Hypervisor specification clearly stated:
+ *
+ *	The new interrupt API functions will be available to a guest
+ *	when it negotiates version 2.0 in the interrupt API group 0x2. When
+ *	a guest negotiates version 2.0, all interrupt sources will only
+ *	support using the cookie interface, and any attempt to use the
+ *	version 1.0 interrupt APIs numbered 0xa0 to 0xa6 will result in the
+ *	ENOTSUPPORTED error being returned.
+ *
+ *   with an emphasis on "all interrupt sources".
+ *
+ * To correct this, major version 3.0 was created which does actually
+ * support VIRQs for all interrupt sources (not just LDC devices).  So
+ * if we want to move completely over the cookie based VIRQs we must
+ * negotiate major version 3.0 or later of HV_GRP_INTR.
