I don't think qemu can get notified on either cpuid or #GP faults, can it?
A big chunk of the functionality here is to allow a userspace process to
transparently make the "hypercalls" without the OS needing to explicitly
give it access to the IO space, by trapping the resulting #GP faults and
checking to see if they are IO instructions . If that's functionality
we think is important, then it will have to be done in Xen, I think.
