+===================================
+The LoongArch paravirtual interface
+===================================
+
+KVM hypercalls use the HVCL instruction with code 0x100, and the hypercall
+number is put in a0 and up to five arguments may be placed in a1-a5, the
+return value is placed in a0.
+
+The code for that interface can be found in arch/loongarch/kvm/*
+
+Querying for existence
+======================
+
+To find out if we're running on KVM or not, cpucfg can be used with index
+CPUCFG_KVM_BASE (0x40000000), cpucfg range between 0x40000000 - 0x400000FF
+is marked as a specially reserved range. All existing and future processors
+will not implement any features in this range.
+
+When Linux is running on KVM, cpucfg with index CPUCFG_KVM_BASE (0x40000000)
+returns magic string "KVM\0"
+
+Once you determined you're running under a PV capable KVM, you can now use
+hypercalls described as follows.
+
+KVM hypercall ABI
+=================
+
+Hypercall ABI on KVM is simple, only one scratch register a0 and at most
+five generic registers used as input parameter. FP register and vector register
+is not used for input register and should not be modified during hypercall.
+Hypercall function can be inlined since there is only one scratch register.
+
+The parameters are as follows:
+
+        ========	=========================	=====================
+	Register	IN			        OUT
+        ========	=========================	=====================
+	a0		function number(Required)       Return code(Required)
+	a1		1st parameter(Optional)		Keep Unmodified
+	a2		2nd parameter(Optional)		Keep Unmodified
+	a3		3rd parameter(Optional)		Keep Unmodified
+	a4		4th parameter(Optional)		Keep Unmodified
+	a5		5th parameter(Optional)		Keep Unmodified
+        ========	=========================	=====================
+
+Return codes can be as follows:
+
+	====		=========================
+	Code		Meaning
+	====		=========================
+	0		Success
+	-1		Hypercall not implemented
+	-2		Hypercall parameter error
+	====		=========================
+
+KVM Hypercalls Documentation
+============================
+
+The template for each hypercall is:
+1. Hypercall name
+2. Purpose
+
+1. KVM_HCALL_FUNC_PV_IPI
+------------------------
+
+:Purpose: Send IPIs to multiple vCPUs.
+
+- a0: KVM_HCALL_FUNC_PV_IPI
+- a1: lower part of the bitmap of destination physical cpu core id
+- a2: higher part of the bitmap of destination physical cpu core id
+- a3: the lowest physical cpu core id in bitmap
+
+The hypercall lets a guest send multicast IPIs, with at most 128
+destinations per hypercall.  The destinations are represented by a bitmap
+contained in the first two arguments (a1 and a2). Bit 0 of a1 corresponds
+to the physical cpu core id in the third argument (a3), bit 1 corresponds
+to the physical cpu core id a3+1, and so on.
+
+Returns success always, it skips current cpu and continues to send ipi to
+next cpu in the bitmap mask if current physical cpu core id is invalid.
