Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk f4a6509bbf xsplice: Design document ...

A mechanism is required to binarily patch the running hypervisor with new
opcodes that have come about due to primarily security updates.

This document describes the design of the API that would allow us to
upload to the hypervisor binary patches.

This document has been shaped by the input from:
  Martin Pohlack <mpohlack@amazon.de>
  Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com>

Thank you!
