Hi,

Following patches add support for paravirtualized guest on mips
(mips_paravirt). Some of the patches add basic support to run it on
octeon3.

The core of mips_paravirt is David's work.
I rebased his code, rearranged it somewhat (e.g. split it into the
current patches) and added some minor modifications.

I've run it using lkvm on a host with KVM MIPS-VZ support (on
octeon3). I've tested guest kernels built for CPU_MIPS64_R2 and
CPU_MIPS32_R2.

When the guest kernel is built for CPU_CAVIUM_OCTEON it requires an
additional patch to avoid usage of octeon_send_ipi_single in
octeon_flush_icache_all_cores. Latest patch for this is not yet
included as it caused a regression and needs some rework.

To built a mips_paravirt guest kernel it's easiest to start with
mips_paravirt_defconfig, check/modify CPU selection (defconfig has
CPU_MIPS64_R2), and kick off kernel built.

Patches are against v3.15-rc5. Diffstat is
