+ ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_GUEST_PERM is a variant of ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_PERM. Like the
+ above, it has the same semantics for VCPU permission. It performs a
+ similar functionality but with a constraint. Permission is frozen when the
+ first VCPU is created. So any attempt to change permission after that
+ point is rejected. Thus, permission has to be requested before the first
+ VCPU creation.
