The Ultravisor Call Facility (stfle bit 158) defines an API to the
Ultravisor (UV calls), a mini hypervisor located at machine
level. With help of the Ultravisor, KVM will be able to run
"protected" VMs, special VMs whose memory and management data are
unavailable to KVM.
The protected VMs can also request services from the Ultravisor.
The guest api consists of UV calls to share and unshare memory with the
kvm hypervisor.
To enable this feature support PROTECTED_VIRTUALIZATION_GUEST kconfig
option has been introduced.
