It's a small number recommended by Kirill:

The spec doesn't define a max retry count. Normally I guess a max retry count
of 2 should be enough, at least for Hyper-V according to my testing.
Maybe we can add a comment like this:
/* Retrying the hypercall a second time should succeed; use 3 just in case. */
Does this look good to all?

Originally, I used r11.
Dave says " 'r11' needs a real, logical name":
