It is all x86 specific, which is why it is grouped under "x86 guest
documentation".

As for future plans, the actual hypercalls will live in the architecture
neutral guest documentation section.

ARM doesn't actually use anything here, because they have a single
spec-defined instruction for making hypercalls which exists in all
virt-capable hardware.
