There are 3 things I dislike about this patch :) 1) A vcpu one_reg should only change the state of the vcpu it's targeting. You want a vm wide thing. 2) If anyone gets crazy enough to implement HV emulation in PR KVM this would overlap with the guest's guest LPCR, so we need to name it differently. It's really VM configuration, not a register. Maybe ENABLE_CAP is a better fit? 3) Checkpatch fails: WARNING: please, no space before tabs #59: FILE: arch/powerpc/include/asm/reg.h:295: +#define LPCR_TC ^I0x00000200^I/* Translation control */$ Alex -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
