This is clearly unworkable.

I think this would be quite annoying.  It would have to be maintained
separately, probably in the branch for the next version.  It would
also make the table generator more complicated and it's quite bad
enough already.

So it has to be one of these.  IMO either of these is fine.

We don't have to make this decision the same way for every feature.

If someone wants to send a patch (on top of my backport series,
please) that renames "PVH guest" to "PVH" in 4.10, and changes
"Status:" to "Status, domU:", to match 4.11 that would be fine by me.

Ian.
