It's not "it"; it's different ones. First and foremost I was thinking of
 * XEN_DOMCTL_ioport_mapping
 * XEN_DOMCTL_memory_mapping
 * XEN_DOMCTL_bind_pt_irq
 * XEN_DOMCTL_unbind_pt_irq
but there may be others (albeit per the dummy xsm_domctl() this is the full
set). As a general criteria, anything using XSM_DM_PRIV checking can in
principle be called by qemu.
