+ Bits 5-4 of the MSR are reserved and should be zero. Bit 0 is set to 1

+ Bit 1 is 1 if asynchronous page faults can be injected when vcpu is in

+ #PF vmexits. Bit 2 can be set only if KVM_FEATURE_ASYNC_PF_VMEXIT is

+ 'Page not present' events are currently always delivered as synthetic
+ #PF exception. During delivery of these events APF CR2 register contains
+ a token that will be used to notify the guest when missing page becomes
+ available. Also, to make it possible to distinguish between real #PF and
+ APF, first 4 bytes of 64 byte memory location ('flags') will be written
+ to by the hypervisor at the time of injection. Only first bit of 'flags'
+ is currently supported, when set, it indicates that the guest is dealing
+ with asynchronous 'page not present' event. If during a page fault APF
+ 'flags' is '0' it means that this is regular page fault. Guest is
+ supposed to clear 'flags' when it is done handling #PF exception so the
+ next event can be delivered.
+
+ Note, since APF 'page not present' events use the same exception vector
+ as regular page fault, guest must reset 'flags' to '0' before it does
+ something that can generate normal page fault.
+
+ Bytes 5-7 of 64 byte memory location ('token') will be written to by the
+ hypervisor at the time of APF 'page ready' event injection. The content
+ of these bytes is a token which was previously delivered as 'page not
+ present' event. The event indicates the page in now available. Guest is
+ supposed to write '0' to 'token' when it is done handling 'page ready'
+ event and to write 1' to MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_ACK after clearing the location;
+ writing to the MSR forces KVM to re-scan its queue and deliver the next
+ pending notification.
+
+ Note, MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_INT MSR specifying the interrupt vector for 'page
+ ready' APF delivery needs to be written to before enabling APF mechanism
+ in MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_EN or interrupt #0 can get injected. The MSR is
+ available if KVM_FEATURE_ASYNC_PF_INT is present in CPUID.

+ bit 3 (interrupt based delivery) is not set APF events are not delivered.

not be delivered.
