[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 1/2] xen: introduce VCPUOP_register_runstate_phys_memory_area hypercall

[Andrii Anisov <andrii.anisov@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: Andrii Anisov <andrii_anisov@xxxxxxxx>

The hypercall employs the same vcpu_register_runstate_memory_area
structure for the interface, but requires registered area to not
cross a page boundary.
