We wish to make management hypercalls as the root user in userspace which means we have to go through the kernel. Currently, we do this

that describe the register arguments. The kernel interface allows us to control who in userspace can execute hypercalls.

ioctls on proc is evil though (so is ioctl-on-sysfs). It's a device not
a proc file!

I full heartedly agree with you :-)
