Somehow the right Hypervisor still needs to be discovered though
so that the right paravirt ops can be installed.

We would need a standard interface for this.

Two possible ways: 
- Let the Hypervisor pass an identifier through the boot protocol
- Do some instruction that traps and expect the Hypervisor
to fill in some registers or memory after that.
