There are 4 more extended hypercalls mentioned in TLFS but there is no
detail about them in the document. From the linux source code one of
the hypercall HvExtCallMemoryHeatHint (0x8003) is a repetitive call.
In the file drivers/hv/hv_balloon.c
status = hv_do_rep_hypercall(HV_EXT_CALL_MEMORY_HEAT_HINT,
nents, 0, hint, NULL);
This makes me a little bit wary that these hypercalls or any future
hypercalls can have high calling frequency by Windows guest. Also, it
is not clear which calls can or cannot be satisfied by userspace
alone.
So, I am not sure if the default exit to userspace for all of the
extended hypercalls will be future proof, therefore, I went with the
approach of only selectively exiting to userspace based on hypercall.
