+If exit_reason is KVM_EXIT_SYSTEM_EVENT then the vcpu has triggered
+a system-level event using some architecture specific mechanism (hypercall
+or some special instruction). In case of ARM/ARM64, this is triggered using
+HVC instruction based PSCI call from the vcpu. The 'type' field describes
+the system-level event type. The 'flags' field describes architecture
+specific flags for the system-level event.
