[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 00/10] ppc: preparing pnv landing

[Cédric Le Goater]

Hello,

This is a first mini-serie of patches adding support for new ppc SPRs.
They were taken from Ben's larger patchset adding the ppc powernv
platform and they should already be useful for the pseries guest
migration.

Initial patches come from :

        https://github.com/ozbenh/qemu/commits/powernv

The changes are mostly due to the rebase on Dave's 2.6 branch:

        https://github.com/dgibson/qemu/commits/ppc-for-2.6 ppc-for-2.6-20160316

A couple more are bisect and checkpatch fixes and finally some patches
were merge to reduce the noise.

Changes since v2:

  - dropped patches which are not fixes for 2.6 :
 
        ppc: Add number of threads per core to the processor definition
        ppc: Fix hreg_store_msr() so that non-HV mode cannot alter MSR:HV
        ppc: Better figure out if processor has HV mode
        ppc: Add placeholder SPRs for DPDES and DHDES on P8
        ppc: SPURR & PURR are HV writeable and privileged
        ppc: Add dummy write to VTB
        ppc: Add dummy POWER8 MPPR register
        
  - fixed else if condition in gen_op_mfspr()
  - removed all hunks except those related to AMOR and DAWR*


The patchset is also available here: 

        https://github.com/legoater/qemu/commits/for-2.6

It was quickly tested with a pseries guest using KVM and TCG.

Thanks,

C.
