When acrn_hypervisor is detected, the hypercall is needed so that the

to query the resources in hypervisor and manage the CPU/memory/device/
interrupt for Guest system.
So the hypercall is added so that the kernel can communicate with the
low-level acrn-hypervisor. On x86 it is implemented by using vmacll when
is implemented with the VMCALL instruction
the acrn hypervisor is enabled.

Please order them the other way around, like a reverse christmas tree:

register long result asm("rax");
That's way simpler to read.

Please mention in the changelog why this is implemented with bytes and not
with the proper mnemonic. I assume it depends on binutils, so please
document which version of binutils supports the mnemonic.
I check the binutils version mentioned in Document/changes.
(binutils, 2.20)
It seems that the "vmcall" is already supported.
So the "vmcall" mnemonic will be used to make it readable.
And in the first function, i.e. hypercall0, add a comment above the asm
volatile() to that effect as well.
Sure.
Thanks,
