+cmd values:
+
+KVM_PV_ENABLE
+  Allocate memory and register the VM with the Ultravisor, thereby
+  donating memory to the Ultravisor making it inaccessible to KVM.
+  Also converts all existing CPUs to protected ones. Future hotplug
+  CPUs will become protected during creation.
+
+KVM_PV_DISABLE
+  Deregisters the VM from the Ultravisor and frees memory that was
+  donated, so the kernel can use it 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.
