Define a new feature bit which supports a new virtual queue. This new virtual qeuque is for information exchange between hypervisor and guest. The VMM hypervisor can make use of this virtual queue to request the guest do some operations, e.g. drop page cache, synchronize file system, etc. And the VMM hypervisor can get some of guest's runtime information through this virtual queue, e.g. the guest's free page information, which can be used for live migration optimization.
