ACRN is a flexible, lightweight reference hypervisor, built with real-time

through an open source platform. It is built for embedded IOT with small
footprint and real-time features. More details can be found
in https://projectacrn.org/

This is the patch set that allows the Linux to work on ACRN hypervisor and it can
work with the following patch set to manage the Linux guest on ACRN hypervisor. It
includes the detection of ACRN hypervisor, upcall notification vector from
hypervisor, hypercall. The hypervisor detection is similar to Xen/VMWARE/Hyperv.
ACRN also uses the upcall notification mechanism similar to that in Xen/Microsoft
HyperV when it needs to send the notification to Linux OS. The hypercall provides
the mechanism that can be used to query/configure the ACRN hypervisor by Linux guest.

Thanks for the review.
I will remove the RFC in the next version.

Thanks
