Vmware has historically used an INL instruction for this, but recent hardware versions support using VMCALL/VMMCALL instead, so use this method if supported at platform detection time. Explicitly code separate macro versions since the alternatives self-patching has not been performed at platform detection time. Also put tighter constraints on the assembly input parameters.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
