+Using this ioctl, a single vcpu register can be set to a specific value
+defined by user space with the passed in struct kvm_one_reg, where id
+refers to the register identifier as described below and addr is a pointer
+to a variable with the respective size. There can be architecture agnostic
+and architecture specific registers. Each have their own range of operation
+and their own constants and width. To keep track of the implemented
+registers, find a list below:
+
+  Arch  |       Register        | Width (bits)
+        |                       |

+4.66 KVM_GET_ONE_REG
+
+Capability: KVM_CAP_ONE_REG
+Architectures: all
+Type: vcpu ioctl
+Parameters: struct kvm_one_reg (in and out)
+Returns: 0 on success, negative value on failure
+
+This ioctl allows to receive the value of a single register implemented
+in a vcpu. The register to read is indicated by the "id" field of the
+kvm_one_reg struct passed in. On success, the register value can be found
+at the memory location pointed to by "addr".
+
+The list of registers accessible using this interface is identical to the
+list in 4.64.
