Yes, they sometimes fail to boot, and the failure message used to ask us to pester mingo.That is what this patch is building towards, but the boot option isHmm, you meant they paniced before? If they just fail a few tests

that is not particularly worrying (real hardware does that often too)
I still think we should figure that out automatically. Letting
the Hypervisor pass magic boot options seems somehow unclean.
But i suppose it will only work for the paravirtualized case,
not for the case of kernel running "native" under a hypervisor
I suppose? Or does that one not panic?
