From: Zengruan Ye <yezengr...@huawei.com> Introduce a paravirtualization interface for KVM/arm64 to obtain the vcpu is currently running or not.
A hypercall interface is provided for the guest to interrogate the hypervisor's support for this interface and the location of the shared memory structures.
