OK, in that case the only thing I can think of is to set a max memory limit for 
PV domains that an access listener can attach to so that the hypercall 
preemption / continuation is not required. In addition we could add a kernel 
command line parameter that overrides this and document that this could cause 
denial of service issues when used. 

Tim, can you think of any other options here?

Thanks,
Aravindh
