[Bug 1879672] Re: QEMU installer with WHPX support

[Stefan Weil]

Meanwhile QEMU builds for CI and also my inofficial QEMU installers for
Windows use free WHPX headers instead of the copyrighted MS ones, so
this issue is fixed.

** Changed in: qemu

Title:
  QEMU installer with WHPX support

Status in QEMU:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  People often ask the community to add WHPX support to the QEMU installer for 
Windows,
  but it is impossible due to the license limitations of the WHPX SDK.

  The WinHvEmulation.h and WinHvPlatform.h header files needed are "All
  rights reserved".

  However these headers only contain struct definitions and integer constants,
  no functional code in macros or inline functions. See:
  https://www.mail-archive.com/qemu-devel@nongnu.org/msg645815.html
  It is questionable whether the headers alone can be considered copyrightable 
material.
