In some cases (mostly buggy firmware/hardware, but not only) system will freeze when starting a VM with some PCI device attached. For example it applies for some Broadcom wireless adapters.
Sometimes a workaround of enabling permissive mode is enough. Sometimes no simple workaround is possible, but one may decide to simply not use such device (detach it from
sys-net).In any case, to implement any solution, user needs to start the system, otherwise changing those options is quite tricky.
I see this as an option on kernel command line option, which could be used as an condition in VM starting services. Then such option could be added from bootloader menu. A catch here: it isn't possible when booting in UEFI mode...
