Subject: [Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 1/2] capability: Add new helper to check specific VE capabilities
Date: Sun, 20 Sep 2026 17:45:42 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260920-ovl-use-orig-ve-v1-1-b3e63f6ff80d@virtuozzo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260920-ovl-use-orig-ve-v1-0-b3e63f6ff80d@virtuozzo.com>
Currently ve_capable checks only current VE caps. It is useful to be
able to check capabilities of VEs other than current.
