Look at kernel/host-linux.c:350-371:

int
plex86_ioctl(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp,
              unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg)
{
    vm_t *vm = (vm_t *)filp->private_data;
    unsigned error;

    switch (cmd)
    {
        /*
         *  Allocate unpaged memory for the VM.
         *  arg is the number of megabytes to allocate
         *  Memory returned must not be pageable by the
         *  host OS, since the VM monitor will run in this
         *  memory as well.  Perhaps later, we can let
         *  the guest OS run in paged memory and reflect
         *  the page faults back to the host OS.
         */
    case PLEX86_ALLOCVPHYS:
        {
        guest_cpu_t guest_cpu;
