Tim Wiederhake 7b6702d516 hyperv: Support hv-xmm-input enlightenment
qemu supports this enlightenment since version 7.10.

From the qemu commit:
    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.

Libvirt API for virtualization

Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
