+          Adds code to keep track of the number of hypervisor calls made and
+          the amount of time spent in hypervisor callsr.  Wall time spent in
+          each call is always calculated, and if available CPU cycles spent
+          are also calculated.  A directory named hcall_inst is added at the
+          root of the debugfs filesystem.  Within the hcall_inst directory
+          are files that contain CPU specific call statistics.

+          This option will add a small amount of overhead to all hypervisor
+          calls.
