Not sure about "currently": the interface looks quite x86-specific to me.
The commit message doesn't mention KVM except in the command name. The
schema provides the command only if defined(CONFIG_KVM).
Can you explain why you need the restriction to CONFIG_KVM?

Is this intended to be a stable interface? Interfaces intended just for
debugging usually aren't.
