We don't want that. > Hmm... not sure how we can have an HPT allocated in userspace if the guest is radix... or maybe if the guest was hash and then it is rebooted with a new kernel that only supports radix ? Anyway, Paul added a minimal implementation of KVM_PPC_CONFIGURE_V3_MMU to PR KVM, that allow nested guests to run recent kernels: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/922688/ So I guess we don't need to patch QEMU. > > } > > >
