It is rather complicated.  First, you call INT 2Fh/AX=4310h, and it
returns an address in ES:BX.  That is the "driver entry point".  All the
interesting XMS features are accessed by loading some other registers
(AH=03h or 05h, here) and issuing a far call to that address.  That
would presumably be done with __dpmi_simulate_real_mode_procedure_retf.

I presume this will all work from protected mode.
