+ This subcommand provides basic Ultravisor information for PV

+ firmware UV query interface but they are more easily available to
+ programs in this API.
+
+ The installed calls and feature_indication members provide the
+ installed UV calls and the UV's other feature indications.

+ The max_* members provide information about the maximum number of PV
+ vcpus, PV guests and PV guest memory size.

+ KVM_PV_DUMP_INIT
+ Initializes the dump process of a protected VM. If this call does
+ not succeed all other subcommands will fail with -EINVAL. This
+ subcommand will return -EINVAL if a dump process has not yet been
+ completed.
+
+ Not all PV vms can be dumped, the owner needs to set `dump
+ allowed` PCF bit 34 in the SE header to allow dumping.
+
+ KVM_PV_DUMP_CONFIG_STOR_STATE
+ Stores `buff_len` bytes of tweak component values starting with
+ the 1MB block specified by the absolute guest address
+ (`gaddr`). `buff_len` needs to be `conf_dump_storage_state_len`
+ aligned and at least >= the `conf_dump_storage_state_len` value
+ provided by the dump uv_info data.
+
+ KVM_PV_DUMP_COMPLETE
+ If the subcommand succeeds it completes the dump process and lets
+ KVM_PV_DUMP_INIT be called again.
+
+ On success `conf_dump_finalize_len` bytes of completion data will be
+ stored to the `buff_addr`. The completion data contains a key
+ derivation seed, IV, tweak nonce and encryption keys as well as an
+ authentication tag all of which are needed to decrypt the dump at a
+ later time.
