Both here and above, using the #defines rather than a hex constant
would be rather nicer.  As Scott points out this probably need to be a
different mask for BookE, too.

Yes, that's fine. I'm happy to rework the patch, although as you see in my response to Scott there is still some discussion required related to whether bit inclusion or bit exclusion is used for the new MSR value. As stated, I believe that bit exclusion is the approach suggested by the specification.

Also, setting HVB to 0 doesn't make sense.  Taking an interrupt can
turn hypervisor state *on* for certain interrupts, but it will never
turn it off.

Right. I think I determined this from trying to work out what should happen to HVB by looking at the existing code, e.g.

/* new interrupt handler msr */
new_msr = env->msr & ((target_ulong)1 << MSR_ME);

This will definitely clear HVB when processing the interrupt handler. Again, as long as we can all agree on what the final approach should be, I'm happy to implement it.


ATB,

Mark.
