Actually i like this approach, instead of adding a new library.

Again, IIRC we had discussed this internally and then decided to
create a new hypercall library similar to Xen, with reference to 
the email copied below :

...
Xen has support under Ovmf for a Xen hypercall library
(OvmfPkg/Library/XenHypercallLib). Take a look at that and maybe create
something similar for KVM.
...

Thanks,
Ashish
