Don't renumber existing HVMOPs, some of the numbers are baked into our guest
ABI. Define your new HVMOP at the end, and enclose in if defined(__XEN__) ||
defined(__XEN_TOOLS__) -- it is only used by toolstack (qemu) and this gives
us flexibility to change your new interface in future if we need to, as this
tells us it is not baked into the guest ABI.
Apart from that, collect an Ack from Stefano that this integrates okay with
his pirq/emuirq stuff for delivering HVM interrupts on event channels. It
may be that you're going in at a slightly too raw level. Stefano wrote a
bunch of the pirq stuff so he can advise on that.
