Try git grep hypercall arch/x86/kvm.

Take a look at arch/x86/kvm/x86.c kvm_set_msr_common() and
kvm_emulate_hypercall(). Some of the KVM time-keeping, minimal HyperV
support, and async page faults live there. Also see
arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_para.h.

Hypercalls are architecture-specific so if you are interested in ppc
or s390, check those arch directories.
