KVM for PowerPC only supports embedded cores at the moment.
While it makes sense to virtualize on small machines, it's even
more fun
to do so on big boxes. So I figured we need KVM for PowerPC64 as
well.
This patchset implements KVM support for Book3s_64 hosts and guest
support
for Book3s_64 and G3/G4.
To really make use of this, you also need a recent version of qemu.
Looks good to my non-ppc eyes. I'd like to see thus reviewed by the
powerpc people, then it's good to go.
TODO:
- use MMU Notifiers
What's the plan here? While not a requirement for merging, that's
one of the kvm points of strength and I'd like to see it supported
across the board.
I'm having a deja vu :-).
The plan is to get qemu ppc64 guest support in a shape where it can
actually use the KVM support. As it is it's rather useless.
When we have that, a PV interface would be needed to get things fast
and then the next thing on my list is the MMU notifiers.
