Are you seeing a real performance improvement from this? This will
interfere
No. But after we reduce the exit to host, shouldn't this improve
performance?
We lose some flexibility for this so it make sense only if we gain
measurable improvements.
Sounds we have much more works to do.
somewhat with using the VF bit, if we were to ever do so, since VF only
affects
Sorry, what is the VF you said?
VF stands for virtualization fault see MAS8[VF] and we may use it for
virtualized
I almost forget this point :)
Looks KVM PPC have no this mechanism currently since I don't find MAS8_VF is
used in kernel, right?
If I'm missing something please correct me.

MMIO. The hypervisor should deny execute access on pages marked with VF.
Accordingly
in this case guest ISI exceptions should be handled by the hypervisor.
