Thanks for the quick response.

We're adding a feature that needs a user defined
parameter to be placed in the VMCB for each guest.
This parameter can be different for each guest.
It looked to me like that was a platform parameter,
but maybe it should be something else.

At any rate, if I add a new key to the config
file (call it 'svm_new_feat'), how do I get the
value of svm_new_feat assigned to the integer
value of SVM_PARAM_new_feat inside of Xen?
