//! The hypervisor backend contract.
//!
//! This is the portable seam between the VMM and whatever hypervisor it
//! runs on: Apple Hypervisor.framework (HVF) on macOS today, KVM on Linux
//! next. It is deliberately drawn HIGH — guest memory, vCPU register
//! state, and the run/exit primitive live here; everything BELOW it (how a
//! backend injects interrupts, services device doorbells, or runs its
//! dataplane) is the backend's own business, so each platform can use its
//! fastest native mechanism (userspace on HVF; irqfd / ioeventfd / vhost
//! in-kernel on KVM) without the portable layer forcing a slower pattern.
//!
//! Dispatch is static: backends are bound as a concrete type at compile
//! time (see the per-platform `ActiveVm`), so trait calls monomorphize to
//! direct calls — zero overhead on the vCPU hot path. There is no `dyn`
//! here by design.
//!
//! Scope: the register model is aarch64-architectural (both HVF and
//! aarch64 KVM expose the same ARM registers; each backend maps them to
//! its native id). An eventual x86_64 backend would extend this contract.

/// aarch64 core (general-purpose + a few special) registers the VMM
/// touches. Backends map each to their native register id.
