i386: Hyper-V XMM fast hypercall input feature
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Hyper-V specification allows to pass parameters for certain hypercalls
using XMM registers ("XMM Fast Hypercall Input"). When the feature is
in use, it allows for faster hypercalls processing as KVM can avoid
reading guest's memory.

KVM supports the feature since v5.14.

Rename HV_HYPERCALL_{PARAMS_XMM_AVAILABLE -> XMM_INPUT_AVAILABLE} to
comply with KVM.
