+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.
+
+No other flags are currently valid in the struct kvm_xen_hvm_config.
