The source code was in the xvm gate, used for Sun's Xen port for OpenSolaris.
I don't know if anyone kept a copy of that gate around - I don't see it on
https://hg.openindiana.org/ .

The package was created by converting the SVR4 package created from that gate
to IPS using the old distro-import tool:
https://github.com/oracle/solaris-ips/blob/40deb36077c33ef6717ef5ddaf3b895e8b2ec1fd/src/util/distro-import/133/i386/system%3Axvm%3Axvmstore

I suspect it should just be obsoleted/removed now if you're not running the
Xen hypervisor from xVM, along with any other system/xvm/* packages.
