+==============
+KVM MMIO guard
+==============
+
+KVM implements device emulation by handling translation faults to any
+IPA range that is not contained in a memory slot. Such a translation
+fault is in most cases passed on to userspace (or in rare cases to the
+host kernel) with the address, size and possibly data of the access
+for emulation.
+
+Should the guest exit with an address that is not one that corresponds
+to an emulatable device, userspace may take measures that are not the
+most graceful as far as the guest is concerned (such as terminating it
+or delivering a fatal exception).
+
+There is also an element of trust: by forwarding the request to
+userspace, the kernel assumes that the guest trusts userspace to do
+the right thing.
+
+The KVM MMIO guard offers a way to mitigate this last point: a guest
+can request that only certain regions of the IPA space are valid as
+MMIO. Only these regions will be handled as an MMIO, and any other
+will result in an exception being delivered to the guest.
+
+This relies on a set of hypercalls defined in the KVM-specific range,
+using the HVC64 calling convention.
