please do _NOT_ call anything like this a "backdoor", anywhere in the 
source or the commit log. "Backdoor" is most commonly used for 
intentional security holes, and we dont want anything like that in the 
kernel code. What this code implements is not a backdoor, it is simply 
a facility to discover the hypervisor environment, not a "backdoor".
