[libvirt] [PATCH v2a] HyperV: Improve 2008, introduce 2012

[Jason Miesionczek]

Not sure I understand what you mean by ‘not adding the string table’. Could you please elaborate?

I understand what you are saying about splitting things up into more logical chunks, by topic, so i will do that for the patches going forward.

Thanks for your feedback, i’m still pretty new to C (not having touched it in about 15 years), so I appreciate the help. 

Also, could you elaborate on the 2-level string data vs. single level enum/index stuff? I’m not sure I follow what you are suggesting.

Thanks!
