+---------------------------

+:Architectures: x86
+:Versions: >= 1
+:Parameters:
+
+::
+
+	struct kvmi_vcpu_hdr;
+	struct kvm_regs;
+
+:Returns:
+
+::
+
+	struct kvmi_error_code
+
+Sets the general purpose registers for the given vCPU. The changes become
+visible to other threads accessing the KVM vCPU structure after the event
+currently being handled is replied to.
+
+:Errors:
+
+* -KVM_EINVAL - the selected vCPU is invalid
+* -KVM_EINVAL - the padding is not zero
+* -KVM_EAGAIN - the selected vCPU can't be introspected yet
+* -KVM_EOPNOTSUPP - the command hasn't been received during an introspection event
