+===================================
+The LoongArch paravirtual interface
+===================================
+
+KVM hypercalls use the HVCL instruction with code 0x100, and the hypercall
+number is put in a0 and up to five arguments may be placed in a1-a5, the
+return value is placed in v0 (alias with a0).
+
+The code for that interface can be found in arch/loongarch/kvm/*
+
+Querying for existence
+======================
+
+To find out if we're running on KVM or not, cpucfg can be used with index
+CPUCFG_KVM_BASE (0x40000000), cpucfg range between 0x40000000 - 0x400000FF
+is marked as a specially reserved range. All existing and future processors
+will not implement any features in this range.
+
+When Linux is running on KVM, cpucfg with index CPUCFG_KVM_BASE (0x40000000)
+returns magic string "KVM\0"
+
+Once you determined you're running under a PV capable KVM, you can now use
+hypercalls as described below.
+
+KVM hypercall ABI
+=================
+
+Hypercall ABI on KVM is simple, only one scratch register a0 (v0) and at most
+five generic registers used as input parameter. FP register and vector register
+is not used for input register and should not be modified during hypercall.
+Hypercall function can be inlined since there is only one scratch register.
+
+The parameters are as follows:
+
+ ======== ================ ================
+ Register IN OUT
+ ======== ================ ================
+ a0 function number Return code
+ a1 1st parameter -
+ a2 2nd parameter -
+ a3 3rd parameter -
+ a4 4th parameter -
+ a5 5th parameter -
+ ======== ================ ================
+
+Return codes can be as follows:
+
+ ==== =========================
+ Code Meaning
+ ==== =========================
+ 0 Success
+ -1 Hypercall not implemented
+ -2 Hypercall parameter error
+ ==== =========================
+
+KVM Hypercalls Documentation
+============================
+
+The template for each hypercall is:
+1. Hypercall name
+2. Purpose
+
+1. KVM_HCALL_FUNC_PV_IPI
+------------------------
+
+:Purpose: Send IPIs to multiple vCPUs.
+
+- a0: KVM_HCALL_FUNC_PV_IPI
+- a1: lower part of the bitmap of destination physical CPUIDs
+- a2: higher part of the bitmap of destination physical CPUIDs
+- a3: the lowest physical CPUID in bitmap
+
+The hypercall lets a guest send multicast IPIs, with at most 128
+destinations per hypercall. The destinations are represented by a bitmap
+contained in the first two arguments (a1 and a2). Bit 0 of a1 corresponds
+to the physical CPUID in the third argument (a3), bit 1 corresponds to the
+physical ID a3+1, and so on.
