Hi Avi, would you apply this patch? Looks like the corresponding qemu patch went in a while ago, so the qemu build has been broken for some time. Signed-off-by: Hollis Blanchard -- Hollis Blanchard IBM Linux Technology Center On Thu, 2009-07-16 at 15:29 +0200, Alexander Graf wrote: > Right now

[PATCH 01/23] Pass PVR in sregs

2009-07-16 Thread Alexander Graf
Right now sregs is unused on PPC, so we can use it for initialization of the CPU. KVM on BookE always virtualizes the host CPU. On Book3s we go a step further and take the PVR from userspace that tells us what kind of CPU we are supposed to virtualize, because we support Book3s_32 and Book3s_64 gu
