+         Enables a hypercall for domains to ask the hypervisor to perform
+         data transfer of messages between domains.
+
+         This allows communication channels to be established that do not
+         require any shared memory between domains; the hypervisor is the
+         entity that each domain interacts with. The hypervisor is able to
+         enforce Mandatory Access Control policy over the communication.
+
+         If XSM_FLASK is enabled, XSM policy can govern which domains may
+         communicate via the Argo system.
+
+         This feature does nothing if the "argo" boot parameter is not present.
+         Argo is disabled at runtime by default.
