24x7 (also called hv_24x7 or H_24X7) is an interface to obtain performance counters from the hypervisor. These counters do not have a fixed format/possition and are instead documented in a "24x7 Catalog", which is provided by the hypervisor (that interface is also documented in this header). This method of obtaining performance counters from the hypervisor is intended to paritialy replace the gpci interface.
Same comments as for the previous patch. cheers
