the paravirt check was added due to gpl-only exported symbols, but now needed ones are back to be loose included. debian http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=419943 and http://lwn.net/Articles/233315/ since 2.6.22 infact my 2.6.26 copy includes: EXPORT_SYMBOL (pv_mmu_ops); paravirt.c please remove the unneeded check from ebuild, it stops amd64 users from using vsmp option
