Not when running in an HVM guest it doesn't, which is the whole point of
this driver.

Agreed.
I would prefer to refresh the pvops.patch so that it contains the same
version of this driver as is added to the base flavour. IOW this

present in the base -- to do that I'd need to know how to refresh the
pvops.patch in a controlled way...
