597
598Capability: KVM_CAP_XEN_HVM

600Type: vm ioctl
601Parameters: struct kvm_xen_hvm_config (in)
602Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
603
604Sets the MSR that the Xen HVM guest uses to initialize its hypercall
605page, and provides the starting address and size of the hypercall
606blobs in userspace. When the guest writes the MSR, kvm copies one
607page of a blob (32- or 64-bit, depending on the vcpu mode) to guest
608memory.

627
628Gets the current timestamp of kvmclock as seen by the current guest. In
