From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <suka...@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
The ultravisor processor mode is introduced in POWER platforms that
supports the Protected Execution Facility (PEF). Ultravisor is higher
privileged than hypervisor mode.
In PEF enabled platforms, the MSR_S bit is used to indicate if the
thread is in secure state. With the MSR_S bit, the privilege state of
the thread is now determined by MSR_S, MSR_HV and MSR_PR, as follows:
HV PR S=0 S=1
---------------------------------------------
0 0 privileged privileged (secure guest kernel)
0 1 problem problem (secure guest userspace)
1 0 hypervisor ultravisor
1 1 problem reserved
