Implement the service call for configuring a shared structure between a
VCPU and the hypervisor in which the hypervisor can tell the VCPU is
running or not.

The preempted field is zero if 1) some old KVM deos not support this filed.

NIT: s/deos/does/

Thanks for posting this.

However, I would hope that the service call will fail if it's an old KVM not simply return zero.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. The service call will fail if it's an old KVM, and the Guest will use __native_vcpu_is_preempted.

You previously said the "field is zero if [...] some old KVM does not
support this field". This seems a bit of an odd statement, because the
field just doesn't exist (it's an old KVM so won't have allocated it),
and if the guest attempts to find the field using the service call then
the call will fail.

So I'm not sure in what situation you are expecting the field to be zero
on an old KVM.

Steve
