[PATCH v2 2/4] x86/vmware: Add a header file for hypercall definitions
Thomas Hellström (VMware)

Fri Aug 23 08:13:14 UTC 2019
From: Thomas Hellstrom <thellstrom at vmware.com>
The new header is intended to be used by drivers using the backdoor.
Follow the kvm example using alternatives self-patching to
choose between vmcall, vmmcall and io instructions.
Also define two new CPU feature flags to indicate hypervisor support
for vmcall- and vmmcall instructions.
