Since the commit 1211ee61b4a8 ("powerpc/pseries: Read TLB Block Invalidate
Characteristics"), a warning message is displayed when booting a guest on
top of KVM:
lpar: arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/lpar.c
pseries_lpar_read_hblkrm_characteristics Error calling get-system-parameter
(0xfffffffd)
This message is displayed because this hypervisor is not supporting the
H_BLOCK_REMOVE hcall and thus is not exposing the corresponding feature.
Reading the TLB Block Invalidate Characteristics should not be done if the
feature is not exposed.
Fixes: 1211ee61b4a8 ("powerpc/pseries: Read TLB Block Invalidate
Characteristics")
