    I've never heard ABI incompatibility used as an argument for perf. Ingo?

    As for the KVM tool, merging has never been about being able to do ABI
    incompatible changes and never will be. I'm still surprised you even
    brought this up because I've always been one to _complain_ about people
    breaking the ABI - not actually breaking it (at least on purpose).
