 * **NOTE**:
 * Versions of Xen prior to 3.0.2 provide only the following legacy version
 * of this hypercall, supporting only the commands yield, block and shutdown:
 *  long sched_op(int cmd, unsigned long arg)
 * @cmd == SCHEDOP_??? (scheduler operation).
 * @arg == 0               (SCHEDOP_yield and SCHEDOP_block)
