That is correct. For root partition, the hypervisor has already allocated the
hypercall page. The root is required to query the page, map it in its address
space and wrmsr to enable it. It cannot change the location of the page. For
guest, it can allocate and assign the hypercall page. This is covered a bit in the
hypervisor TLFS (section 3.13 in TLFS v6), for the guest side. The root side is 
not covered there, yet.
