Say,

enum {
KVM_OP_MMIO_READ = 1,
KVM_OP_MMIO_WRITE = 2,
KVM_OP_PIO_READ = 3,
KVM_OP_PIO_WRITE = 4,
KVM_OP_MSR_READ = 5,
KVM_OP_MSR_WRITE = 6,
KVM_OP_HLT = 7, /* so we can program the apic timer and sleep */
}

struct kvm_batch_op {
u8 op;
u8 result;
u8 size;
u8 reserved[5];
u64 address;
u64 data;
};

int kvm_batch(int nr, u64 kvm_batch_op_phys);

This is really repeating Xen PV though (different ops), not sure it's
worth the intrusiveness.
