As far as i can see, items 2 and 3 of

https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/12/588

Have not been addressed.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/20/653 contains discussions on those
items.

2) Format of the interface for other architectures (you can choose
a different KVM supported architecture and write an example). It was
your choice to choose an I/O port, which is x86 specific.

3) Clear/documented management interface for the feature.

Note 3 is for management, not the guest<->host interface.
