+If the KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG_INTERCEPT_HCALL flag is returned from the
+KVM_CAP_XEN_HVM check, it may be set in the flags field of this ioctl.
+This requests KVM to generate the contents of the hypercall page
+automatically, and also to intercept hypercalls with KVM_EXIT_XEN.
+In this case, all of the blob size and address fields must be zero.

+KVM_XEN_ATTR_TYPE_SHARED_INFO
+  Sets the guest physical frame number at which the Xen "shared info"
+  page resides. Note that although Xen places vcpu_info for the first
+  32 vCPUs in the shared_info page, KVM does not automatically do so
+  and requires that KVM_XEN_ATTR_TYPE_VCPU_INFO be used explicitly
+  even when the vcpu_info for a given vCPU resides at the "default"
+  location in the shared_info page. This is because KVM is not aware
+  of the Xen CPU id which is used as the index into the vcpu_info[]
+  array, so cannot know the correct default location.
+
+KVM_XEN_ATTR_TYPE_VCPU_INFO
+  Sets the guest physical address of the vcpu_info for a given vCPU.
+
+KVM_XEN_ATTR_TYPE_VCPU_TIME_INFO
+  Sets the guest physical address of an additional pvclock structure
+  for a given vCPU. This is typically used for guest vsyscall support.
+
+KVM_XEN_ATTR_TYPE_VCPU_RUNSTATE
+  Sets the guest physical address of the vcpu_runstate_info for a given
+  vCPU. This is how a Xen guest tracks CPU state such as steal time.
