Implementing them in qemu doesn't make a lot of sense. Qemu doesn't
have access to most of the XIVE HW state. There's a XIVE model for full
emulation but when using the real thing, almost none of it is visible.
A lot of those hcalls effectively turn into OPAL calls.

It depends, I can't tell for AIX. For Linux, not often with one
exception: H_INT_ESB which will be used whenever you EOI an emulated
LSI.

Agreed with the exception maybe of H_INT_ESB
