From: Paul Durrant <[e-mail]>

If the guest does not explicitly set the GPA of vcpu_info structure in
memory then, for guests with 32 vCPUs or fewer, the vcpu_info embedded
in the shared_info page may be used. As described in a previous commit,
the shared_info page is an overlay at a fixed HVA within the VMM, so in
this case it also more optimal to activate the vcpu_info cache with a
fixed HVA to avoid unnecessary invalidation if the guest memory layout
is modified.

+KVM_XEN_VCPU_ATTR_TYPE_VCPU_INFO_HVA
+  If the KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG_SHARED_INFO_HVA flag is also set in the

+  userspace address of the vcpu_info for a given vCPU. It should
+  only be used when the vcpu_info resides at the "default" location
+  in the shared_info page. In this case it is safe to assume the

+  an overlay on guest memory and remains at a fixed host address
+  regardless of where it is mapped in guest physical address space
+  and hence unnecessary invalidation of an internal cache may be
+  avoided if the guest memory layout is modified.
+  If the vcpu_info does not reside at the "default" location then
+  it is not guaranteed to remain at the same host address and
+  hence the aforementioned cache invalidation is required.
