Doesn't this always result in -ENOSYS?

Hm?

Even at this point in the series, HVM_PARAM_CALLBACK_TYPE_VECTOR works
and doesn't result in -ENOSYS.

But even if xen_evtchn_set_callback_param() *was* a stub that just
returned -ENOSYS at this point, that would be OK, surely? We add the
(other) HVM_PARAM_CALLBACK_TYPE_* support later, which warrants
separate review because of the GSI and iothread lock fun.

I'm just having a hard time seeing why passing 0 to xen_evtchn_set_callback_param() does anything useful...

+    case HVM_PARAM_CALLBACK_TYPE_VECTOR: {
+        struct kvm_xen_hvm_attr xa = {
+            .type = KVM_XEN_ATTR_TYPE_UPCALL_VECTOR,
+            .u.vector = (uint8_t)param,
+        };

HVM_PARAM_CALLBACK_TYPE_VECTOR is 2 AFAICT, so it won't hit that case. Also, you appear to be passing the unshifted param to kernel anyway.

What is the call trying to achieve?
