+KVM_XEN_VCPU_ATTR_TYPE_RUNSTATE_ADDR
+ Sets the guest physical address of the vcpu_runstate_info for a given
+ vCPU. This is how a Xen guest tracks CPU state such as steal time.
+
+KVM_XEN_VCPU_ATTR_TYPE_RUNSTATE_CURRENT
+ Sets the runstate (RUNSTATE_running/_runnable/_blocked/_offline) of
+ the given vCPU from the .u.runstate.state member of the structure.
+ KVM automatically accounts running and runnable time but blocked
+ and offline states are only entered explicitly.
+
+KVM_XEN_VCPU_ATTR_TYPE_RUNSTATE_DATA
+ Sets all fields of the vCPU runstate data from the .u.runstate member
+ of the structure, including the current runstate. The state_entry_time
+ must equal the sum of the other four times.
+
+KVM_XEN_VCPU_ATTR_TYPE_RUNSTATE_ADJUST
+ This *adds* the contents of the .u.runstate members of the structure
+ to the corresponding members of the given vCPU's runstate data, thus
+ permitting atomic adjustments to the runstate times. The adjustment
+ to the state_entry_time must equal the sum of the adjustments to the
+ other four times. The state field must be set to -1, or to a valid
+ runstate value (RUNSTATE_running, RUNSTATE_runnable, RUNSTATE_blocked
+ or RUNSTATE_offline) to set the current accounted state as of the
+ adjusted state_entry_time.
