Thanks for the suggestion. But what I pasted is right from hypercall.h.
What I'm not understand is how can I directly assign arguments to the
registers a1-a5. As I don't want to use privcmd to issue the hypercall,
which is a user-level interface. Can you show me one simple example on
how to do that?

There is multiple example on how to implement hypercalls for the kernel within this file (e.g HYPERVISOR_mmu_update).

You may have to implement yours if there is no helpers for you hypercall.
