TLFS 6.0b states that there are two distinct bits for input and output:

CPUID Leaf 0x40000003.EDX:
Bit 4: support for passing hypercall input via XMM registers is available.
Bit 15: support for returning hypercall output via XMM registers is available.

and HV_X64_HYPERCALL_PARAMS_XMM_AVAILABLE is not currently used
anywhere, I'd suggest we just rename 

HV_X64_HYPERCALL_PARAMS_XMM_AVAILABLE to HV_X64_HYPERCALL_XMM_INPUT_AVAILABLE
and add HV_X64_HYPERCALL_XMM_OUTPUT_AVAILABLE (bit 15).
