    xp_qv, hosted in xpsqlbot.dll is a wrapper around functionality in
    sqlboot.dll, which returns information about the SKU type, licensing etc
    It is not documented that is why you can not find a reference.

    I should be getting called very infrequently and as far as I know it only
    visits the Registry
