Why not do the same thing that the Cell developers did for their
"special syscalls"? Or at the least, make it a "real" syscall like the
ppc64 developers did. It's not like there isn't a whole bunch of "prior
art" in the kernel today that you should be ignoring.
A hypercall syscall would be good in a lot of ways. For x86/x86_64 there are multiple hypervisors so we would need to make the syscall general enough to support more than one hypervisor.
