What is an advantage of PV on HVM ?

Per Stefano Stabellini :-
A PV on HVM kernel doesn't need to be a special kernel: your pvops
kernel that can be used as native kernel or PV kernel can also be used as PV on HVM kernel just adding CONFIG_XEN_PLATFORM_PCI.
PV on HVM support is good mainly for performances of 64 bit guests and
simplicity of installation.
