+cmd values:
+
+KVM_PV_ENABLE
+  Allocate memory and register the VM with the Ultravisor, thereby
+  donating memory to the Ultravisor that will become inaccessible to
+  KVM. All existing CPUs are converted to protected ones. After this
+  command has succeeded, any CPU added via hotplug will become
+  protected during its creation as well.
+
+KVM_PV_DISABLE
+
+  Deregister the VM from the Ultravisor and reclaim the memory that
+  had been donated to the Ultravisor, making it usable by the kernel
+  again.  All registered VCPUs are converted back to non-protected
+  ones.
+
+KVM_PV_VM_SET_SEC_PARMS
+  Pass the image header from VM memory to the Ultravisor in
+  preparation of image unpacking and verification.
+
+KVM_PV_VM_UNPACK
+  Unpack (protect and decrypt) a page of the encrypted boot image.
+
+KVM_PV_VM_VERIFY
+  Verify the integrity of the unpacked image. Only if this succeeds,
+  KVM is allowed to start protected VCPUs.

+This capability indicates that the Ultravisor has been initialized and
